So ground finally dried up enough I could put some dry encapsulated urea on my hay ground. Same day guy across the road appeared to be doing something similar, except he had a massive spray rig. Next day, another farmer showed up on an adjacent piece of hay ground with a huge spray rig......looked to have an 80 to 100 foot boom......and was applying a liquid. Since it was hay ground, I assume some sort of liquid N.

Other than the fact I was using a buggy basically for free and their machines probably cost $150k plus, what is the difference? Why were they using a liquid?

Well it rained the next day.....and several times since......and that was only a week ago.

Just find it amusing.......that spray rig cost alone cost 4X my entire equipment line.....and we both just bale hay. And mine goes into squares that I sell for 2X per ton what they get for big round bales.

But, but, but, those neighbors probably have a/c, cloth seat w/air ride, blue ray, surround sound, bracket to hold a laptop, so they can view PornHub.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
