As for the week between NH3 and planting--yes, probably still a good idea. Way back in the late 70's my soils prof at Iowa State said that the week was a "to be safe" kind of thing, and with deep placement and good sealing he wouldn't be afraid to plant immediately. We had GREAT conditions--soil worked well, N was sealing the best I can remember, went at an angle and we waited 3 days or more. Who really knows?? With the really good newer seed treatments we now have, I am glad to have it in the ground( but ask me if I still am when it is coming up!!!). For one thing, even if the May corn yields as well, I'd bet our April corn will be dryer at harvest. At this point it is anyone's guess if the seed is better off in the ground or in the bag, but as of today I am glad to be planted. What did your liquid cost per unit of N? I gave $800/ton--about 49 cents a unit-- for my ammonia with toolbar but had to pay for it last fall.
