Observations 2021

Without Agrigro this is exactly what we would be doing!

Fertilizer needs are a 182-58-29-20 (3.3) Nitrogen coefficient

Using soil sample to build fertilizer recommendation, actual will be a 146-30-40-20 for a cost of $209.63 per acre

Seeding rate for a Brett Young non GMO variety is 5.5lbs/a given a 5.2 TKW, 90% germ, 20% mortality and targeting 8 plants per square foot.

Cost for seed is $49.06 per acre

With Agrigro this is exactly what we will be doing!

Fertilizer needs are still 182-58-29-20 (2.7) Nitrogen coefficient given residual soil levels.

Using soil sample to build fertilizer recommendation, actual will be 113-25-35-18 for a cost of $167.61 per acre

Seeding rate for Brett Young non GMO variety is 4.5lbs/a given a 5.2 TKW, 95% germ, 8% mortality and targeting 8 plants per square foot.

Cost for seed is $40.14 per acre

We were able to go from a 3.3 nitrogen coefficient to a 2.7 nitrogen coefficient.

Total savings on fertility is $42.02 per acre which on this 100 acre field is $4,202.00

Total savings on seed buy dropping 1lb/a is $8.92/ac on 100 acres is $892.00

S4 and the FolierBlend application cost this year is $12.05 /ac

Savings is a total of $50.94 per acre - $12.05 = $38.89/ac
