NH3 Fertilizer Costs Deep Dive Into Reality. Long Term Planning Must Be Implemented.

“We have got it, and they don’t.” Reducing production costs $150 to $200 per acre.  

Only in North America will you find TAPPKTS plus Zinc built at 1% Uniformity or CV.  

A stellar reaction of nutrients in a deep band vermiculated to 8 inches, No-tillage.

NH3 as NH4 at 82.4% Nitrogen Is The Best Choice.
Where Did the Money Go?

The Fertilizer Efficiency Problem Is Solved, across North America by Exactrix Global Systems.

Top performing yields with ½ to 1/3 the Fertilizer cost. $150 to $200 per acre back to bottom line.

You Need Long Term Planning.
 My banker does not know sic'um about corn production!
 " In 2018, You get $64/A to raise 270 bushel corn and that is it."

 " In 2022, You get $128/A to raise 270 bushel corn and that is it."

In 2021 Ben McClure had sandy soil, center pivot averages that reached 283 bushels per acre.

Ben McClure has a 13 year trend line on margin and yield that continues upward at above average returns.

In 2021 Ben McClure invested $84.00 per acre in TAPPKTS plus Zinc with the best yields ever.

What if your fair weather friend the local ag banker said? "You get $128.00 per acre for corn fertilization and that is it." 

Your ag banker says, “You have got to wean the fertilizer bill to 8% to 12% of the Gross Income in 2022.”  

You say, “I have heard about a very powerful and respected company that has solved the fertilizer efficiency problem.”

You say without thinking it thru. "That won’t work with my present system., $128 is about 1/2 to 1/3 of what I need to raise 280 bushel per acre corn." 

• "Furthermore I cannot raise dryland wheat with only $40.00 per acre fertilizer for wheat."
• "The dryland and dryland pivot corners will need to go into grassland and CRP." 
• "You would argue with yourself and your son, I need $225 to $300  per acre to raise high yielding corn."
• We can not be using any solution 32-0-0 or 28-0-0 except in salvage.
• We need to use NH3 banded deep in soil to comply with federal mandates coming for Nitrous Oxide emissions.
• We need to find a way to use less and get more.
• "You know you can raise a lot of corn and keep your costs low, if the weather is average."

• You end up saying to your wife, "I need a new banker".
• "Something needs to change fast. I need light in the tunnel with yield enhancement technology."
