I did prepay a couple weeks ago. This years anhydrous ammonia is $1540 a ton. Last year I paid $535 a ton. I use 11-52-0 and it is priced at $985 this year and was $578 last year for a ton. Also use 0-0-60 and it is currently priced at $815 a ton whereas last year is was $365 a ton. Dry urea 46-0-0 is $960 a ton and last year it was $360. In regards to the anhydrous there are many variables at play. Natural gas is used to make NH3 and prices may have been higher earlier. I think futures are trending downward now. I believe at one time it was more profitable to sell the natural gas off rather than use it to make ammonia. Someone told me China is shutting down coalfired ammonia plants due to pollution. I think the majority anhydrous is produced by primarily four big companies. They probably want to capitalize on some $5, 6, and $7 corn that was sold last year. Experts in the fertilizer field I have talked to say that probably an increase of $500 a ton is warranted which should ideally make anhydrous $1000 a ton. But, with all of these additional variables it seems like at least $1500 will be the going rate. Even trucking is probably higher. I was told retailers traditionally tried to make about $100 a ton. I doubt that has changed much. Fertilizer salespeople hate the situation. I knew what had happened to prices. When my salesman handed the prepay statement to me he said you are not going to believe this and your are not going to like it. Even with the higher prices for fertilizer corn still makes more money for me.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
