Was quoted £435 for urea. 600kg bags. Delivery May-Dec.
Equivalent of £326 for AN on N basis. That's the question going through my head. Will summer AN price be above or below £326?

I'm no expert, but natural gas prices seem to be at a level simar to when AN was in the £270-£320 price bracket. However, grain prices are higher now, and seems to be trend for AN to be linked to grain prices (at least, a factor in the pricing)

Where does that leave the thinking? I'm thinking new season AN prices could be £350+.

Never mind, it could have been worse…. much worse. :(

I only bought a wee bit, to top up what I had in store, and enough that I could just get by if supplies did indeed dry up. My part load of 38N19S was £886! Urea was over £900 at the time, and know of someone locally that bought a couple of loads at the same time.😲 Plenty will have done the same, but I suspect few will admit to it now.🤐

My intention was to buy more if the price became more sensible, but it’s not got there yet.
We did some at 900! I was thinking there must be others who did so but no one has said anything and then realised i hadn't admitted it either! Average is about 650 which still looks bad right now, luckily, or maybe unluckily, we probably need a bit more still

I know a few folk that admit they bought at that sort of price, a couple buying their whole year’s requirements then. Might not have got it otherwise…
