Refreshing to see someone with a platform using it to push issues that effect farmers instead of just playing it safe so their youtube/social media money doesn’t be effected, well done and keep up the good work 👏🏻

Great video! I have been sowing protected urea and was unaware of the science around ordinary urea! Great detail and information in your videos and your using the platform very well to get information out to people 👌👏🏻

Thanks! I enjoy the detailed videos most!

I think you were right to top dress Andrew, modern ryegrass loves and needs lots of Nitrogen. Well said on the Urea too.

Been some studies done here in AUS and for the extra cost of protected urea is not worth it. Approx 45 N every grazing here. So 45 days during autumn winter and 25 days during spring. Obviously more for silage ground. Pretty lucky for us with 3 major importers so it’s competitive. And can pick up road train loads direct from port.

We get shafted here in N.I. on fertilizer prices, it's a cosy little club designed to keep our prices high.

All good informative stuff, i was misinformed about the urea loss story..I’ll be using more of it..

You are right,a lot of companies make a lot of money from farmers

Great video. Massive tractor for spreading fertiliser, having said that it’s the right colour… surely you should keep the spreader if it’s as usable and modern as the tractor. Keep up the good work.

I also have these rants in the tractor cab, but I don’t have a camera 😂

Very informative, thank you

What is the protection on the urea made from. Is it going to be a problem in the future, micro plastics, chemical traces in food?

Brilliant video

haw much urea do you use on your first cut and second??? do you use it on your grazing ground???

Here in South of ire its mandatory to spread protected urea if in derogation if you spread urea.

How much urea would you recommend to too dress a good dose of fym to give grass a boost for grazing? Also how much kg to the acre for silage crop after slurry early march tia

@FarmTheoryNI

For grazing I go 100kg-150kg/ha depending on the time of year

I done the same yesterday on my s cut

Great info

If you decide to buy the spreader, do you keep thay one (if it was given on demo as new) or discounted as a demo or wait for a new one, and if you have to wait for a new one, can you keep the demo till then?

@FarmTheoryNI

Keep this one, it was the spec I wanted. No decisions made yet but it really is a brilliant bit of kit. Never thought it could possibly be worth it when I got it....

Hear in the north east the fields are mega dry yous must of got some rain.

Good stuff

Good Video Andrew, what about your P&K requirements, do you just rely on the slurry to get this into the ground or is the fact your re-seeding fields mean this isn't really an issue. Spreading CAN here for he first time as they grass is just not growing and the cattle & sheep are cleaning the fields off at some rate.

Dose putting the protective coating add much to the carbon footprint of the product before it even comes into your yard . Basically is the coating process adding more of a carbon footprint than the potential losses of using normal urea ?

@FarmTheoryNI

Probably very little added emissions. I imagine it's almost zero

I feel a petition coming along 🤔.

I have the same spreader and its totally worth buying it,i love it (Amazone sponsor me please)

Any chance of you doing a video covering dosing regimes and the efficacy of pour-on vs drench vs injection. It would save me from doing it.

All these fields got lots of Sulphur earlier in the year, it could have leached out already but it shouldn't have.

Morning Andrew. Good information well done you. The reason we spread prot urea over straight nitrogen is to get the added sulfer in the prot urea example 37N + 7S. Sulfer is extremely important in dry sandy soil .

Sulphur can be applied in one application, I used PolySulphate this year for my sulphur supply, Ammonium sulphate is the cheapest form

Surprised at how little 3rd cut you have, or was this video made a few weeks ago? I think we did 1st and 2nd at similar time to you and we are ready for 3rd . On the protected urea, was at a grass meeting in the spring and the kiwi presenter (forget his name) said the coating is also toxic, so won't be doing the soil biology any good. Have just bought sweet grass this time (23can 5sulfur,5salt). Find urea awkward on the grazing platform as you need so many acres to use a bag @23 units N/grazing , or 1/4 of the platform. Then you get a few dry days so wait to put it on and before you know it you've half of it to do and the cows are halfway to being back in it.
