@DhelmBeefGuy Typically the tank is placed in a sheltered area. Yes the blend will be winterized when temps drop

@jamiekwood Sulphur is a macronutrient needed by plants. Not as much ‘free’ sulphur available anymore from acid rain

[Ed VanderPloeg @evplfi]

Spreading a little N and sulphur. Ammonium sulphate / Urea blend. Rotation grazed pastures - good fertility, good organic matter
