According to some “experts” here on FR, they can sub cow sh*t for fertilizers!
Yes sir..there are really stupid people on this forum.
Depending on where the farm is..for 200 BU corn it will take up to 200 pounds per acre of Nitrogen to produce that corn.
Yes, there are areas where it will require as little as 50 to 60 pounds per acre. That does not include the other fertilizers OR herbicides OR insecticides.
For them you see..you just work up the ground and plant the seed in there and stand back and watch the stalks grow right on up to the sky!
I had one tell me today that this is just a scam to get more subsidies.
Hmmmm, who else has lots and lots of natural gas? Seems to me I remember a guy with a red hat a long time ago, at least it seems like a long time, who let this country develop lot of natural gas, enough to export.
We have lots of natural gas.
The poorest nations will suffer the most.
“...200 BU corn will take up to 200 pounds per acre of Nitrogen...”
-
One ton of cow manure contains approximately
12 pounds of nitrogen (not all immediately available).
Yeah, do the math...
We are gonna need a whole bunch more cows.
The answer is Honey Buckets. For all those people who want to get away from fossil fuel should be mandated to fill a Honey bucket daily and deliver it to the processing center.
I just spread over 3,000 pounds of urea fertilizer. It’s a nitrogen fertilizer made from ammonia and CO2.
YA...its like farmers get paid to destroy their crops!
And get 3800 bucks an acre!
HOW GD STUPID can they be?
What it was is some dumb ass city slicker saw a farmer plowing under his failed crop and assumed he was getting paid to do that.
Now a couple years to one year ago? A WHOLE LOT of produce farmers had to plow up their crops because why?
Think about it. Why would a produce farmer plow up his crop after he spent thousand of dollars to plant?
Where do the commercial quantities of ammonia and carbon dioxide come from?
Here is one fact though.
Rain can put up to 40 pounds per acre on the field. Just has to be the right kind of storm.
We used to put in around 45 pounds per acre on the corn. Always side dressed it with the planter. But that was for silage for dairy.
These days with no till methods. It takes one HELL of a lot of chemicals to prep the ground. Instead of killing weeds by tilling, they kill the weeds by herbicides. But, it saves on the top soil. Cant no till on certain places in this country though...like east central WI. Or I imagine Dakota in certain areas.
Hmmm I’m reminded of a certain scene from Blazing Saddles.😜
But cows produce methane. Can’t have that.
Akron, Uralchim, Belaruskaliy, Fosagro - they are responsible for about 30% of the export market in the world and all are Russian and Belarusian companies currently banned from international trade.
Belgium producers are following holding about 12% of the world market but all the figures are for the year 2021.
Also I don’t think the any European producer is going to produce much without Russian gas.
This is going to be one hell of a interesting year after this coming fall.
I still say the blame will get put on the USA and countries will come after us.
Well that’s what the fugly Samantha Powers said, and she’s an expert because she’s flown over countless farms at 35,000 feet. She also seem well-acquainted with bulls#it, which is closely related.
Well, the majority of Americans blame Putin for the gas prices and Bidenflation according to pollsters. Maybe CNN will be able to fool the rest of the world for some time.
Know what? You might have something there.
Get all these stupid bastards out on the fields and let them talk.
They are about to learn the hard way. Gonna take a few months but it will hit and hit hard. I expect to see them getting robbed right in/near their own houses.
Half gallon of milk is right around 89 cents over there. Whole milk and the price depends on the brand.
Gas is around 1.90 for 91 octane. No corn squeezing in it.
You need to take into account the volatility of the Russian ruble towards dollar. In March milk was under 50 cents and gas below $1, but it is rather meaningless for Russians making money in local currency.
There is indeed a food inflation in Russia but it is quite mild, gas is cheaper in Russia than it was a year ago.
Most of the consumer inflation comes out of the fact of exodus of foreign brands, whereas stuff like iPhones or Victoria Secret were skyrocketing in price on increasing scarcity. It was especially sensitive on car market whereas Escalades were selling for the equivalent of $450k in early April.
After a few weeks tons of Asian alternatives appeared often of more affordable price and grey dealers are bringing brand-name merchandize from third countries. For complicated stuff, the Cadillac dealership in my town is now taken over by the upscale Chinese Chery Exceed.
