Here are the figures for a couple of my fields from the 2013 spreadsheets. This is the per acre cost of chemical in bulk totes. The Optima and Selectmax were in 2 1/2 gallon jugs. This year I might throw in Calisto in the corn herbicide mix for better grass control. We'll see what the weather does.
CORN
Tripleflex-------------15.50
Optima-----------------2.16
Roundup Wmax-------6.12
TOTAL-----------------23.78
BEANS
Glyphosate-------------8.50
Optima------------------2.16
Selectmax (Optional)--5.16
Roundup Wmax--------7.25
TOTAL------------------23.07
I use my own sprayer but I charge the spreadsheet the custom spray rate. I don't know if I do it any cheaper after figuring in $30,000 for the sprayer purchase, upkeep and tractor expense but I get it done when I want and I know my fields. (editorial comment) Jim
