Rick's Tips

Urea pricing is tending higher at this time which should continue into spring.

MAP is holding steady which, hopefully will hold through spring planting.

10-34-0 is still able to be had just the pricing changes almost daily and supply come spring looks to be tight. Call for current pricing.
