You seem very knowledgeable about all this! Am I right in thinking you work in the fertiliser supply trade....?

If grain has jumped from £150 to £200, I'm going to sell at £200, as that's the market price.
The fact I'd produced it for £100/t is irrelevant. Unfortunately, sometimes works the other way as well.
Who knows, could work that way this next year. Expensive fert, expensive diesel and tractors, yield might be good across the world, but poor on my farm. Mighy cost me £150 to produce, but market price could be £130. Fert manufacturers might have similar problem. Don't suppose they'll be keen to produce and stockpile at current gas prices, particularly if gas prices crash in May.
Bet thats lumpy when it drops in the spreader then

Set within a kind of island within our farm is a retired chap with about 10ha. He lets a small farmer mow it for hay. Nothing else happens to it, not grazed, no Inputs... I’ve been watching with some interest, now been here 8 years, the hay is the same and a fair crop every year, In fact (due to the early weather) this year it was the earliest and best crop ever
Well, it gets me thinking

Has the nutrients in the crop reduced accordingly or was it dead grass from the start?
limmi cows live on it. Anything else is overthinking it
Might well be possible in drier climate, over here we get yellow/white grass and rushes if we don't put back in.

Other industries heavily reliant on gas are appealing for a government bail out.
Will this apply to agriculture too?
Better to sort the problem than paper over the cracks in my opinion.
What happens to all the north sea gas? Do we not produce enough to be self sufficient? Will Nicola be able to do a Putin and shut down the taps to limit supply going over the border in the future!?
Speaking to a haulier yesterday and his books are full with fert to shift. Cf shutting down definitely panicked farmers that were holding off into ordering. I haven't yet. But feeling peer pressure on here!
