Anhydrous is usually the cheapest if you figure the direct cost, not if you figure the total cost. Most times when you see somebody trying to apply anhydrous they are leaving a trail of it that you can see following them for a couple of hundred feet, that amounts to how much going direct up in the air and the cost of that. Now a lot of places that used to handle anhydrous do not any more because of the hassards with it. You have to use speciliezed items to handle it and if you get a bit of it to breath it can and will kill you. Years ago neighbor thought he was going to be smart and kill ground hogs with it, about killed himself as the hose he put in hole and filled around when he turned valve hose popped out and he was able to get valve shut off and stop flow but in that minute the air was so saturated with it he was barly able to craul out of under the gas. I have filled the tanks at fertilizer plant and delievered them. First and only time I tried using it after a half hour called company and told them to come pick up their equipment, no more for me. That was yeas befor I worked at plant. We went to 28% that I applied incorperated for years, might have cost a bit more but I am still here years later. I also loaded and delievered many a tank of it while working at the plant. You can handle it without thinking about it killing you. Never had or heard of 32%. We at the one place that I worked and it was only place around that carried it was 14% and it was to be sprayed on top of growing wheat and it would not turn the wheat brown. And for that you just used a high output field type sprayer with a fertilizer rated pump and large nozzels. That same sprayer can be used with 28% to sidedress corn, just put a hose with nozel that is so big it will just run a drip stream instead of spray out streem and drop it directly on top of the ground so it is midway between rows. You will not loose any this way unless you get a gully washer rain imideatly after and you would do same if it was put on any other way. That sprayer is your cheapest way of doing the application. You could put the drops on your tool bar with saddle tanks on your tractor. May take a few more fillup than with a larger trail type tank sprayer but with that many acres you could do it, if you were doing a thousand acres then you would want an outfit that you could pull a thousand gallon tank on a wagon gear behind your tool bar. Please weigh the bit extra cost of the 28% over the anhydrous and the fact your family might just want you around, not going to your funeral.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
