While spending some time in the combine on my own farm one beautiful harvest evening a few days ago, I was able to take the time to scroll through some headlines on The Western Producer website when one caught my eye. The article, “Finding best time to buy fertilizer” (http://www.producer.com/2015/09/finding-best-time-to-buy-fertilizer/), focused mainly on the fact that in 19 out of 20 years nitrogen fertilizer and all fertilizers in general (including liquid starter phosphate fertilizers such as ALPINE G22) are typically at their lowest point all year from mid-summer to early fall. The study went on to state that it wasn’t by a small margin either as the variation in prices can be as low as 50 percent off spring prices but conservatively 35 percent is a good number to use in terms of savings.
With that in mind, now is a great time to be purchasing and taking delivery of your ALPINE G22 liquid starter phosphate needs for next year’s crop already. The ease of overwinter storage of ALPINE G22 as well as the security of having your starter fertilizer needs taken care of and already on-farm and in place for next year make the decision an easy one for myself to have my own on-farm storage for my G22 and have those tanks filled already. Combine these advantages with Alpine’s advantageous early fall delivery discounts and pre-season cash payment discounts and it makes the decision to purchase and have ALPINE G22 fertilizer delivered right now an even easier one. Whether you chose poly tanks or stainless steel ones, it doesn’t take many years of these fall savings to pay for them many times over. Your Alpine District Sales Manager can even help you find the right storage tank for your ALPINE G22 fertilizer needs as well!
I encourage you to speak with your local Alpine District Sales Manager as soon as possible about our current valuable early fall delivery discounts and pre-season cash payment discounts we have on now. Alpine has trucks on the road everyday moving product all across Western Canada and we want to help you in preparing to grow the best crops you can next year while also saving you some money along the way!
