There is no cheap fertilizer now.
Started climbing up in mid summer, and is through the roof. At the moment it might be doubtful we get enough N for the crop we want to plant, never mind the price. P and K have doubled to tripled because they are controlled by 3 international companies, simple monopoly of the market.
Manure has gone up to match, Im waiting on the bill for the 30 acres of hog manure I got. A little scared what that will be.
As far as what to get.
Soil test will tell you what your soil has.
Crop charts will tell you what your crop needs to make a yield you are hoping for.
Add the parts that are missing from what the soil has, vs what your crop needs.
Low ph is what you fix first with lime, high ph you cant afford to fix you adjust your crops to work with high ph soils.
If you have low soil ph your crop cant get the nutrients out of the soil. Roots actually put out a weak acid into the soil to loosen up nutrients and suck them in. A low ph soil is so acidic that this reaction fails and your crop can starve, even if you have too much fertility there, it just wont be available.
After that you need to add N, P, and K to fit your crop.
Sulfur is often short these days since we dont have acid rain any more.
Boron and other micros are sometimes short. You might not probably get this detailed for your methods and goals....

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
