Let's see what the price is in March , 6 months is a long time
What the price is is only part of the equation. The other important bit is the logistics to get it on your farm. We start spreading in February.

It's often better to regret the things you've done, rather than the things you haven't IMHOYeah I completely agree. It's just having the balls to sit tight and wait.
I chickened out last Friday and bought a couple loads of 16.16.16 which was probably at the top of the market. Fudged up again. I wasn't sleeping at nights worrying about it. Now I'm waking up in middle of the night sweating thinking what I paid for it!
how much was itYeah I completely agree. It's just having the balls to sit tight and wait.

I've done same with wheat going way too cheapYeah I completely agree. It's just having the balls to sit tight and wait.

If wheat was likely to be £300 it would be £300. Fertiliser being so expensive should stymie yields and area and should be affecting futures, it's just a pure wager to expect it the futures to move in either direction.Well wheat will have to be £300 a tonne after all this

not simple is it
probably would but if the fertiliser was bought well you will maxamiseyields with some p and kbut at 600£plus its not cheapI can’t understand why anyone’s buying P and K products . Surely your farms will stand a years P and K holiday , especially if your a mixed farm .
Makes you think if Putin saw this coming with the export taxes that they put on many months ago on wheat, also in full control of the gas taps.
A 4% yield drop due to fertiliser issues would be enough. There will be a swing to beans from corn in the Americas, there will be places fertiliser doesn’t get to. China and India have anticipated this, Russia is about to take action.Devils advocate here! Will it stymie yield in UK? As a rule of thumb (do challenge me) I suggest 80% (could be a little more) of the yield response to applied Nitrogen fertiliser comes from the first 50% of applied Nitrogen. You may want to research the decades of trial results and associated dose response curves.
If you can see a profit, grab it quick .Wheat does need to be £300 ton but on weekly flier or email offered £170 at harvest yesterday

Ask yourself how likely the NFU are in succeeding..?There was talk of the NFU lobbying for fertiliser subs, if this happend would the people who bought early (at significant risk and financial/cash flow strain) get the difference paid to them?
