Market prices used to value the other nutrients in a tonne
When a product carries more than one nutrient, the extras are valued at what the same usable pound would cost you from the common source: N from urea, K from potash, S from AMS (net of its N), P from MAP (net of its N), Ca from SUL4R-PLUS (net of its S). Change these to your local pricing.

Efficiency values are Taurus estimates of year-1 availability, adjusted for the field conditions shown. A $50 or $100/MT move usually changes your acre far less than it feels like it should.
