A Winter Urea Story (With Apologies to Charles Dickens)
Below is an article by Dave Franzen of NDSU. Even though all the practices don't align
with Western MO agriculture it is a fun read and drives home the point that applying fertilizer in improper conditions can have unintended consequences. Merry Christmas.
Application of Urea to Frozen Soils Preceding Spring Wheat
"I have suffered these 10 years past because I talked people into putting urea on frozen
soil," said Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge's fertilizer plant partner.

As he drove into his lane, Ebenezer reached for the garage door opener and thought for a
horrifying moment that he saw the face of Jacob where the button used to be. Blinking
hard, he forced himself to look again and the face was gone. “No more sauerkraut at lunch

It was late when he arrived at home. You would think this time of year would be
less busy, but end-of-the-year sales were important to next year’s spring business
and his farmer clients had money to spend before the end of the year.

•New Employees
It was Dec. 1 and the weather in his part of North Dakota had dropped below
zero every night for a week. The ground was hard and a couple of inches of new
snow lay on the ground. More snow was forecasted in a few days. Before closing,
Ebenezer talked to his floater-driver, Bob Cratchet, about applying urea on his
fields in the morning. He explained that urea prices were high, but price likely
would be higher in the spring and supplies might be tight. He might as well apply
the urea now while they had more time. Anyway, nothing bad could happen. Could

Take Care of Your Horse’s Hooves This Winter
In the winter, special care should be taken if your horse lives outside or is
turned out. Snow can ball up under the sole and cause bruising or imbalance.
Horses usually slip less when barefoot or not shod. If your horse is shod
through the winter, have snow pads placed under the shoes and small
cogs, borium, or nails placed at the heels Snow pads will prevent snow and
ice from building up under the shoe and the cogs or nails will allow for better traction.
Maintaining your horse's nutrition and farrier schedule throughout winter
can help alleviate hoof problems. It is critical to keep your horse on a
regular trim schedule throughout winter.
Feeding good quality hay, supplementing the appropriate amount of s u p p l e m e n t
and making sure your horse has constant access to fresh, clean water is important for hoof health
and overall horse health.
Poor nutrition can lead to future hoof problems; correcting a horse's nutrition can gradually improve hoof
health over time, because the hoof wall grows at a rate
of a quarter to three eighths an inch a month- the average hoof will take 10-12 months to grow out. MFA
EasyKeeper Horse Feeds are designed to take advantage
of University research work which has shown that
horses with poor hoof quality can significantly benefit
from feed that contains adequate levels of biotin, iodine,
methionine and zinc. Feeding EazyKeeper Horse feeds:
11%, Edge, or 14% will help protect your horse’s hoof
integrity. Preventing hoof problems is a more effective approach than treating acute problems.

A Winter Urea Story (With Apologies to Charles Dickens) Continued...
He watched some TV, had some ice cream and started to get ready for bed. Suddenly, a loud noise, such as the
jangling of chains, came from the basement, if the house had one, which it didn’t. Out of the closed door appeared the ghost of Jacob Marley trailing calendars, file cabinets and hundreds of soil thermometers!
“Woe is me and woe is you!” Jacob wailed. “I have suffered these 10 years past because I talked people into putting urea on frozen soil. Now I have this one chance to save you from my fate.”
“Jacob, what are you talking about and what are you doing pulling all that garbage behind you?” asked Ebenezer,
quite in awe and fear of this eerie spectacle.
“I talked our customers into applying ammonia and urea too early in the fall and
putting urea on frozen soil,” Jacob wailed. “I thought more about getting the order and getting the fertilizer orders out of the way than I did about the consequences. So I am doomed to forever be burdened with calendars, file cabinets full
of NDSU Extension Service publications and soil thermometers that could have
increased my customers’ nitrogen efficiency! Things that I ignored in life! Woe is
me! Now you are thinking about talking your customers into applying urea on
frozen ground,” Jacob continued. “To help you, I am summoning three spirits,
starting tonight, to help you onto the right path. Expect the first when the clock
tolls 1.” Then he disappeared.
Ebenezer was stunned. He stood where he was shaking, not believing what he just
experienced. He went to the bathroom and took a shower. He looked all over
the house, but finally decided he had dozed off after the ice cream and had a
nightmare. He went to bed and, after much tossing and turning, fell asleep.
Suddenly he awakened to the sound of his alarm clock radio. He reached over to turn it off. To his surprise, it
was 1 o’clock. He jumped out of bed and almost ran over what appeared to be an old farmer in bib overalls!
“Who are you?” Ebenezer asked. “I am the Ghost of Winters Past,” the spirit replied. “Who’s past?” Ebenezer
asked. “North Dakota’s past,” said the spirit. “Hold onto my arm and we’ll take a little trip.” Ebenezer held onto
the spirit’s arm and was whisked onto what appeared to be a NDSU Research Extension Center.
“Where are we?” Ebenezer asked. “We are at the Carrington REC in 1995,” the sprit said. “It’s late November
and the soil is just frosted in the morning. See? The researcher is applying urea to some of the plots. It will rain
tomorrow and the rain will gently wash the urea into the soil. Watch now as time moves forward,” the spirit
added.
With that, day and night quickly whirled by before their eyes. When it stopped, they again saw the researcher
out in the plots adding urea on areas in the plots with about 4 inches of snow. It was very cold.
“It is about three weeks later,” the spirit said. “It’s December now. The nights have been below zero for more
than a week and the ground is very frozen. Now the researcher is applying urea to certain plots. Does this look
familiar to you?” asked the spirit.
Ebenezer didn’t say anything, but thought to himself that it did look very familiar. In fact, he planned to do it again
just as soon as he woke up from this stupid dream! Time again whirled by, with days and nights cycling like
strobe lights at the fair. When they stopped, the snow was thicker and harder.
“It‘s a little warmer, though, so thank goodness for that,” Ebenezer thought. The researcher was again out in the
field. “The snow is thicker, it’s March and the ground hasn’t thawed since it froze last December,” the spirit said.
“A person would have to be crazy to apply urea in snow this deep,” Ebenezer said. “Yes, he would,” replied the
spirit.

A Winter Urea Story (With Apologies to Charles Dickens) Continued...
Time again passed by, but not as many cycles this time. When the cycles stopped, the researcher was nowhere to be seen. It was warmer and the snow was rapidly melting.
“Why are we stopping here?” asked Ebenezer. “Look at the water in the fields,” explained the spirit. “See
how the water pools on areas in the field? Look closely at how the water slowly trickles from the plots to
ponds and even into the road ditch. The water is there because it slowly runs there during snowmelt. The
water cannot penetrate the frozen soil, so the water, along with any urea applied during the winter, easily
runs off. The urea doesn’t stay where it is applied and is free to move with the water.”
“That’s nonsense!” exclaimed Ebenezer. “Urea is attached to the soil and can’t move. Besides, how can we
get all of our work done in the spring if we have thousands of more acres to handle that we normally would
apply in the winter? Aren’t we doing the farmer a favor by saving money on the cost of their urea?”
“I think someone hasn’t been reading his NDSU
Extension publications,” the spirit said. “This study
that we just witnessed will be finished a few weeks
from now with a urea application made just prior
to seeding wheat. The wheat was seeded and
grown to maturity. When it was harvested, the
wheat fertilized in November yielded similar to the
April seeding application. Proteins also were similar. However, the two applications made on frozen
ground made nearly 20 bushels per acre less grain
and had almost two points less protein.”
“I had no idea,” Ebenezer said. “I must have been
using my cell phone in the hallway at the Extension
Service meeting I went to during that presentation! But I still need to get my work done and this is one way I
can get it done!”
“So be it,” the spirit said. With that, the scene went fuzzy and Ebenezer again found himself in bed in his
room. “That was possibly the worst dream I have ever had,” Ebenezer said to himself. He turned over and
tried to go to sleep. Before he even got comfortable, the radio alarm went off again and he was confronted by
a strange man in a tweed suit.
“Oh, ho!” the man shouted. “Time to get up! I am the Spirit of Winter Present.” “Can’t I dream about something else?” Ebenezer cried. “I get enough winter present when I’m awake!” “Oh ho, let’s go out in the
snow!” the spirit yelled.
With that, they were at the edge of town and Ebenezer recognized the house of Bob Cratchet. Bob was just
coming up to the front door carrying a boy who looked to be about 9 years old and was holding a broken
hockey stick. The door opened and Mrs. Cratchet stood looking at them with a concerned look on her face.
“What in the world are you doing carrying Tiny Jim?” she asked. “Well, mom, I was playing hockey and I think
I sprained my ankle,” Tiny Jim replied. “Dad says it’s going to be OK, though.”
“He took quite a spill and broke his stick at the same time,” Bob added. ”If the ankle isn’t better by tomorrow, you might have to take him to the doctor. By the way, it looks like I might spread urea on my fields this
weekend, so I probably will be working late.”

“Do you think it’s wise to spread urea on the snow and frozen ground? It’s really expensive, you know,” Mrs.
Cratchet said. “It’s OK,” Bob said. “We do it every year for some customers. If Mr. Scrooge says it’s OK, it must
be. He goes to Extension meetings from time to time, so he must know what he’s talking about. Besides, he said
that supplies might be tight in the spring.”
Ebenezer started to feel a little anxious about the urea and frozen snow idea. Then he looked around and the
Spirit of Winter Present was shrinking. “What’s happening to you?” Ebenezer asked. “You don’t expect winter
present to last forever, do you?” the spirit squeaked as it slowly shrank into nothingness.
With that, Ebenezer was surrounded by a chill. Looking around, he
saw a towering figure dressed in a black bomber hat and a black
parka that looked like something out of an arctic nature show.
“Are you the Spirit of Winters Yet to Come?” Ebenezer asked. The
spirit nodded and pointed at the Cratchet door. The spirit and Ebenezer walked through the door and stood in the kitchen where Bob
and Mrs. Cratchet were sitting. It was late at night.
“We’re really going to have to watch our expenses this coming
year,” Bob said. “My wheat yields were at least 15 bushels less than
the neighbor’s and the elevator dock because of low protein was a killer! The only thing I did differently than the
neighbor was that he waited until spring to apply his urea. I thought I was saving money.”
“I never liked the idea of putting on fertilizer on frozen ground,” Mrs. Cratchet said. “I thought Mr. Scrooge had
more sense than that.” “Well it’s done now,” Bob said. “Tiny Jim wanted new hockey skates this year, but I think
he’ll have to settle for a hockey stick instead.” “And I think I’ll give you an Extension publication so you don’t do
anything stupid again!” Mrs. Cratchet said.
Ebenezer and the spirit floated out of the house into the yard. “Spirit, are these the things that will happen or the
things that might happen?” Ebenezer asked the Spirit. “I’ll change! I won’t ever talk my customers into putting
urea on frozen soils ever again!”
With that, Ebenezer found himself in his room. He looked at the clock and it was 6 a.m., which meant it was time
to get ready for work. He turned on the TV and saw that it was the next morning. Excitedly, he dressed and
went to the fertilizer plant. He got there before Bob Cratchet.
When Bob walked in, Ebenezer shouted, “What are you doing here this morning? Don’t you know it’s a Saturday
in the winter? What could possibly bring you out this morning?” “But, I thought we were going to spread urea on
my fields today,” Bob stuttered. “Are you crazy?” Ebenezer shouted. “The ground is frozen! Where do you think
the urea will go when the snow melts? Sideways, most likely, if it ever gets through the snow at all as cold as it is
now. Here, look at this data from the NDSU Extension Service. It shows that winter urea application on frozen
soils resulted in more than 20 bushels less wheat and almost 2 percent less protein, compared with a spring application. No, I’m not going to let you put urea on any of your fields until it’s close to spring.”
And Ebenezer was as good as his word. He purchased an extra floater and tender truck to handle the extra
spring work. He had to raise his prices a little to pay for the extra steel, but people always said that he looked
out for their interests and worked hard to make sure the fertilizer was applied as efficiently as possible.
And when people asked in the winter if putting some urea on the frozen ground was all right, he would point to
a chart on the wall that showed how silly the idea was.

West Central AgriServices, MFA Scholarships
SCHOLARSHIPS: It’s that time of year again, time for area high school seniors to decide what they
want to do with the rest of their lives. If they decide to attend college, scholarships are extremely
helpful in providing the financial means in order to achieve their aspirations of a higher education. MFA
and West Central AgriServices offer scholarships to graduating seniors of local high schools. Each MFA
and MFA affiliated location gives at least one local high school senior a one-time $2,000 scholarship.
Have your high school seniors ask their counselor about the MFA
scholarships. If the counselor does not have information on these
scholarships please contact your local MFA or West Central Ag
store for more information.
This is Rich Hill’s new row crop combo machine!
Combo is a liquid and dry machine. Dry for when we need to top dress corn or apply fall and
spring fertilizer for corn and beans. High flotation tires help us not track up fields in soft conditions. We also have a set of narrow row tires for running row crop and top dressing corn. Our
liquid system has a 100 ft boom that allows us to make fewer passes through the field than our
older smaller row crop machines. This machine also comes with the newest technology for applying chemicals. PIN POINT individual nozzle control means better accuracy and better chemical

Thoughts on MFA minerals and feeding
Hello! My name is Butch Turner. I am MFA’s area sales manager for this area. I have been with MFA for about 25
years. All of it has been in the livestock and feed area. I also am involved with dairy rations for MFA. I grew up on
a dairy and beef farm near Sedalia and was a partner with my mom and dad. When my dad’s health started giving
him problems I suggested that it might be time for them to sell the operation and retire. I was fortunate to stop
milking in late December and start working for MFA on January 1, 1990. Where did the time go?
I have been asked to comment on some of MFA’s mineral feeds. I will start off by saying that over the years my
colleagues have labeled me somewhat conservative. That does not mean “cheap” it’s just that I believe that in
animal feeds there are so many different options and prices it pays to look at what best fits your operation. I
could go into a class on chemistry and give you figures on levels in our minerals, but then again you may get that
bleared eye look after a good meal. This area uses our Super 10, Breeder 12 and in the last year a new program
called Ricochet. Quite simply for this discussion, Super 10 and Breeder 12 refer to the phosphorus levels in these
minerals. Super 10 consumption should be approx. 4ozs per HD per day. Breeder 12 will run in the 2 oz per HD
per day area. You do not have to feed salt with these minerals or extra vitamins. Both have the “Rain Off” tech
and are of a larger particle size. Rain Off is to better withstand weather elements and not waste your mineral. I would
like to point out that Super 10 has been around a long time
and is still one of the best selling minerals we offer. Cattle
consumptions depend on many things. Pasture, available feedstuffs and the condition of the animals. It is not a “one size fits
all” when it comes to being exact on consumption. How
about placement of the mineral feeder? Close to water, too
close to the feeder or my favorite, not keeping mineral out in
front of the cattle all the time and then calling your friendly
MFA rep saying the cows are overeating on mineral! As to
exact levels on our minerals you can pick-up all of this from
the store or go online and see it. Just go to
www.MFAIncorporated.com and it will be there. We also
offer programs with ionophores and medication for fly and
fescue problems.
This leads me to the Ricochet line of minerals. Dr. Jim White
of MFA has developed a new line of mineral using this name.
This program is not the cheapest, but for what the mineral
offers and the availability of ingredients in Ricochet the cattle
will be getting a much higher level of components then we
offer in our other minerals. Ricochet Max could also be fed
starting in January for approx. 60 days. This will eliminate the
need for high mag feeds. For our spring calving customers
they should switch to Ricochet FesQMax for when we turn
out to our good ole Missouri fescue pastures. If you have fescue, there is a good chance you will have endophyte.
Ricochet contains essential oils, and clays to help bind the entophyte problems. It also contains fly control. At the
end of grazing season or after some hard frosts, switch back to standard Ricochet. This basically means one bag
of Ricochet and a bag of Ricochet FesQMax per cow per year. There may be cheaper minerals out there and we
offer some also. However, I believe the Ricochet program will be to MFA as what Cattle Charge has been. Cattle
will see some great results with just the Ricochet mineral program if you do nothing else. I can go into colostrums quality, cow conditions and better calf performance too. This mineral will greatly enhance your cows and
newborn calves!
Call us about your mineral needs today. I think you will find that most of the MFA guys I deal with are not “high
pressure” and are willing to listen to your needs. However, with the high cattle prices and newer mineral tech9

Check Grain Bins to Prevent Quality Issues
By: Diana DeHart - Grain Coordinator
It’s that time of year again, time for the “Check Your Grain Bins” speech. Harvesting corn above 16 percent moisture takes extra care and management to
insure a quality crop for future sale. The same can be said for soybeans harvested above 14 percent moisture. I will focus on corn in this article, but handle your soybeans in the bin with the same caution and care.
Corn in bins that are aerated and monitored to stay below 30º F and that have
the center cores removed during the winter months will generally stay in good
condition, while un-aerated bins and piles can quickly loose quality once the
temperature starts to climb. According to North Dakota State University Extension Service agricultural engineer Ken Hellevang, the estimated allowable storage time (AST) decreases rapidly at warmer grain temperatures. For 22 percent moisture corn, the AST is about 190
days at 30 degrees, 60 days at 40 degrees and only 30 days at 50 degrees. For 20 percent moisture
corn, the AST is about 90 days at 40 degrees, and 50 days at 50 degrees.
Charles Ellis, University of Missouri Extension ag engineer, warns that temperature differences in a bin
of stored grain causes moisture to migrate from warmer to colder areas. Warm air rising in the center of the bin cools when it reaches the cold grain near the surface. Ellis says this results in moisture
condensation near the surface and leads to rapid spoilage when the weather turns warm. Hellevang
stated in a news release, “Warming of the grain will normally be limited to a couple feet near the bin
wall and a few feet at the top of the bin. Monitor grain temperatures in these locations to determine
when to operate the aeration fan. The daily total solar energy heating the south side of a grain bin on
Feb. 21 is more than twice as much as on June 21. Also, the amount of solar energy heating the bin
roof is about equal. Therefore, corn next to the bin wall may be much warmer than the outdoor air
temperature”.
The active period for grain spoilage begins in mid to late February. Use every opportunity to keep the
grain cold. Core storage bins by taking some grain out in the near future. Coring bins will indicate if
there are problems starting, such as wet corn bridging over the unloading slide. Once the grain temperature cannot be maintained below 30 degrees, wet corn over 17 percent will have to be dried or
sold to prevent spoilage.
Act NOW to check, move, or dry any wet grain you have stored on the farm. Damaged grain will be
harder to market and the damage will quickly get worse if not properly handled. Check your bins now
to prevent issues and hassles later in the year and to insure you get the most value for your grain.
