Thing is, I remember that year when TSP got to £600 a ton. By spring, it had dropped plenty.
Yes, but it's necessary to have enough to get going in spring organised.

I'm still betting on it dropping, but I'm not sure it's going to be in time for use next spring.

I've enough to get halfway through applications, so I will wait it out now.

Might have to do my hgv test and buy a truck to get it here though......
 
the cropping area round here is falling
one estate will have no combineable crops planting big areas of un fertilised grass or legume mix next harvest another has several hundred acres of non combineable crops

if this is replicated across england the cropping area needing fertiliser will be several hundeds of thousand acres less

Indeed. On our 1000ac there will be 300ac of combinables. Half the fert for which will be digestate.
 
if fert price is so high then the last 50 kgs may not be economic
180 kg on wheat 100 on malting barley instead of 230 kg and 150 kgs
grow soft wheat for a low protein home and malting at sub 1.5 for a bigger premium
and reduce the carbon foot print of the uks food requirements
