Nope won't drop as the price of wheat is good
I will post a graph, which might help explain some of the recent price increases.

What's the x axis? And how much is due to currency fluctuations vs. world energy prices?
I notice you've picked NG prices - does the graph for oil look much different? Agree that Fert is made from energy (Haber process), but I'm unclear if it's pegged to LNG, oil or something else - maybe hydro?
This is true yes but to what quantity and quality ? We had a neighbour who didn’t use fert for number of years and his fields stood out like a sore thumb , hungered poor doing crops and even poorer stock not thriving of the grass.To those who dont believe. Grass will grow without it .
They synthesise ammonia from natural gas, not oil, but obviously there is a lot of heat energy and pressure involved. X is time and Y is price in cents per mmBTU.
Don,t believe every thing that woman sais, I am also started to worry about Gove and his U turns.Sterling might bounce back (and some) next Tuesday, making imported product much cheaper. A lady called Teresa told me it was a distinct possibility.....
Okay so for silage ground what would people recommend. My choice at moment is either a 27.6.6 or a 20.8.12 fert . Have used both in past okay . The 27.6.6 is bit dearer Rhys time

Are those designed for second cut?Okay so for silage ground what would people recommend. My choice at moment is either a 27.6.6 or a 20.8.12 fert . Have used both in past okay . The 27.6.6 is bit dearer Rhys time
No mainly used for first cuts . Think the 27.6.6 be better with more nitrogenAre those designed for second cut?
We have bought a lot of 21/8/11 yara in the past which yara said was on offer but was supposed to be for second cut they said
Bought new 52 off them last spring with sulphur
Mind you by the time we get our sheep out of the fields in the spring it is second cut anyway
Most folks round about here use carrs/bunns/origin 20/10/10 blend usually a fair bit cheaper than yara my rep always calls the new 52 second cut I don’t know why that is I always thought it was due to out late landNo mainly used for first cuts . Think the 27.6.6 be better with more nitrogen

I had some poorer land tested by an agronomist and put 17/17/17 on his advice it didn’t half shift it on
That’s what I was trying to say politelyAll of you need to be soil testing rotationally and finding out if you really need this additional P and K not just buying it because you always have. A LOT of farmers I worked with never needed to buy in any additional P and K, and so were buying N and S instead and making huge savings.
Less than putting the wrong stuff on for ten years in my experienceWhat’s it going to cost to sample 250 acres worth of silage fields ?
20 quid per field(10 acre)What’s it going to cost to sample 250 acres worth of silage fields ?
