The opposite has happened last year with Canada droughts and the failure of pulse crops - which would have put Nitrogen in the ground.

Correct. My soil tests have come back very high in N I think the crops pushed roots down deep to follow moisture and the n that was applied was stranded in the dry soil above Good position to be in but not sure if I’m cutting back any, grain Prices are good so cutting back doesn’t seem a good policy.

Are fertiliser prices similar to the UK ? £650+ a tonne here.

I bought 11-52 for 1200 a ton and urea is over 1100 a ton. 46% not going to be a cheap crop coming off next year. Hope the prices hold or wife will be getting a paper round.

Canada i feel is foolish as they sell so much to the US for feck all. Trade deals done a long time ago I think but at home we pay more than the us does. That said it is priced where the fertilizer companies think the market will stand. As with any product it will be sold at as high a price as they can. Most of our urea come up the Mississippi on barges then by train into a terminal at bloom west of Winnipeg 50 miles. Phos from Florida I was told. im at the furthest point from any sea port so shipping gets costly.

I imagine they did, as it had dropped about £25 from the previous few months.

Open interest on the futures on a small percentage of the uk crop and that includes speculators
