So you have never bought early before but now it is very expensive and far from guaranteed to rise any higher you have bought some?????
Exactly!
The earliest I have ever bought before is June, but usually August / September.
Took the view that the price was better than expected and wanted to lock in on availability.

Might be right or might be wrong. Who knows?
There seems to be a lot sold and I was worried the deal would be pulled.

My trader who offered the £740 didn’t imply his arm was being bitten off…..
Perhaps he’s to honest 🤔

Fibrophos (delivered and spread) was £225/t here today, up from £146 twelve months ago. The chicken sh*t mines must be reliant on expensive gas. :censored:
Cancelled a load earlier on at £175 as I thought 5k for a load of chicken sh!t too expensive…..but maybe I shouldn’t have as it is apparently bad to get a hold of now.

There's 4ac of spreading in each ton on my price, so about £200/t for the product?

Still cheaper than the alternatives in a bag, and works well as a base fert here.

Just seen the email that we should be getting half our basic payment from July. Will certainly help ease some of the pain.
Yes I've just seen that 50% bps payment by the end of July, now we are out of the EU this is allowed.
Kind Regards
