Nonprofit myths: Many don't pay property taxes -- but for many good reasons. There has been a great deal of conversation recently regarding nonprofit organizations and property taxes. Much has been written regarding the multitude of benefits that our best regional nonprofits add to our community.
Currently, price differences between the nitrogen fertilizers are less than the historical spreads. On March 31, prices were $.37 per pound for ammonia, $.41 for urea, and $.47 for liquid N. Currently, urea has a $.04 higher price than anhydrous ammonia, compared to a $.09 historical average.
Ammonium nitrate (34-0-0), in comparison, at $525 per ton Ã· 680 pounds actual nitrogen per ton costs 77 cents per pound actual nitrogen. In our example, the urea appears to cost 19 percent more when priced by the ton, but actually costs 12 percent less when priced by pound of actual nitrogen.f ammonium nitrate is chosen because the agronomic advantages outweigh the higher price (for example, application during hot weather in midsummer), make sure the fertilizer is actually ammonium nitrate and not something blended to make a 34-0-0 fertilizer.
