My dad run a fertilizer and chemical business for over 40 years before retiring. And we always delivered what the farmer would use that day and would pick up emptiy trailers in the morning. People know there is a big problem. They should know the chances taken by leaving trailer out over night. The point I am trying to make is leaving a full NH3 tank out in a field unattended would be kind like takin your car to the ghetto, leaving it there with the keys in at and them wonder why your car got stolen.

If I have the coop deliver & pickup the tanks, HOW can I be responsible for them????? HOW does that work? Can I call the coop manager at 11:30pm and have him come out & get the tanks?????

HOW do you blame the farmer for this?

It's just as fair for me to say the siuppliers of NH3 need to offer 24 hour service on delivery & pickup, as it is fair for you guys to try to blame the farmer for this. Not my tank, not my delivery & pickup schedule. WHAT can I do about it? I'm not even sure I can legally transport the tanks with _my_ pickup on public roads, so WHAT can I do about it?????

I called my supplier 2 years ago & said I wanted delivery TUESDAY morning. Drove onto my farm MONDAY late afternoon & there were 3 full NH3 tanks and an applicater sitting on the driveway.

That is MY fault?

Whoe there hoss, don't get your hackles all up, with this meth problem everyone needs to try to work together on this. You need to coordinate with co-op on delivery and only deliver what you are gonna use in a day. I guess co-ops are different now days. We used to pick up empty trailer as late as 9-10 o'clock at night, with one truck following another. I do not remember blaming a farmer for this, because if some dipstick is stealing NH3 from you, you are loosing , then you need to explain this to Mr. Co-op manager or find another source of supply. No it is not your tank, or delivery schedule, but if he wants your business, then he should work with you. As long as you have SMV signs on these trailer you can haul them yourself. We used to deliver NH3 when the customer needed it. Not when we needed to deliver it.
