Price??....or is it too painful to print
It's tempting but we start with month old calves so a bit like turning a ship!

What product is that ?
Theres no question speculators give the market fluidity but this notion that we wouldnt be able to buy and sell without them like they are indispensable annoys me. We would just have to sell when there are buyers, develop your own relationships with buyers that suit your profile. We would adapt and proceed
Managed to get a load of Yara 33.5 for £640 on Friday. I told the mechant if new prices were coming out to book a load as I am needing it now . Been holding off from buying it at 790 to 750 hoping it would drop. I think they only released a few loads at that price. Still need for this season and should of bought more but more about managing finances!

Definitely a two tier market for the fertiliser - the arable chaps can possibly afford the current prices if things stay as they are or improve slightly.
Livestock farmers are in a very different position, massive price rises are necessary for the beef, lamb and hay market if they are to justify buying more than a small proportion of their usual N requirement.

And the price will never come down if they are happy to buy it at these prices

Covered myself for a load of Urea @ £760. Pay september. Not exactly sure what "covered" means as is merchants term not mine but I think it will turn up.

Hope it washes out.

There was plenty of talk of not buying at these prices, but if this thread is a true reflection of the national sentiments, the bulk of next year is done.
It is what it is, but I still think £20k for a load of fert feels a lot like being lined up for a furking.

It sounds to me like the AN companies simply aren't giving the allocations to suppliers. And there's only limited import opportunity.
The urea deals i was offered were all "you'll get it sometime between July and February".
