AN at £198 is equivalent to urea at £264.
Best offer on urea was £204 bulk.
I know you can’t compare (bagged) apples with (bulk) oranges, but at N220kg/ha and 3.8t/a (9.4tha) it works out with the blue bag grown wheat costing £8.04 more per tonne output than urea grown wheat. Or to put it the other way round, making £8.04/t less profit.

Aren't farmers utterly sick of this open the book for about four hours on a Friday afternoon charade?
Puts me in mind of a village hall "auction" that I went to aged about 12, the sight of the primary school PTA hierarchy clamouring over a cheap eiderdown, whilst a man reminiscent of Del Trotter teased them into a frenzy, haunts me still.

Not planning on doing any thing till November at the earliest
Planning no rape and not sure how many tonnes we will need depends on how many acres wheat dry planted
1976 a dry year no one planted any wheat till November round here
If it stays this dry till harvest the cash is better in my bank till next year

Bought all of next years. Lithan 34.5% and some urea.
Bigger chance of it going up 40 quid than going down 10

I agree new season is a bit of a farce, as markets generally don't just stop and then restart. However, it is just a price. Either you like it and buy or you don't and leave it. Everyone has a choice and it's no different when it comes to buying an input or selling what you produce. I suppose at least the UK still has fertiliser production and AN is still permitted. Ireland and others do not have this as an option, therefore you could argue more limited choice.

Hope it stores ok.
199/ton won't interest many this year I shouldn't think.
