Was at local merchants yesterday and seen someone leaving with a pallet of Urea, so asked the boss out of pure curiosity what was he charging...................................... £940/t

Will soon go through the grates if you keep jumping on it. H&S man would probably like to see a Safe Working Practise document in an a4 folder, showing step by step instructions though.
Yeah, that was the only lump, had worse with other brands TBH. Couple of 8 year old kids in the back with hammers as you're going along............
We're milking a third less cows and it's going well.
Less fert, less staff, high milk price, fabulous cull cow values, what's not to like?
Cast cows £4.10kg DW.
Would think everyone is getting rid of anything not up to the mark in their herds.

Took the plunge this morning and ordered our 2023 Urea. I’ve never bought this early before or at such a high price.
Had a long chat with the merchant, who is just about to retire before the new season prices came out.
Having lit the blue touch paper, he has now taken a lot of orders for Urea.
Very few have turned down the £750/tonne price, full lorry loads delivered Aug to Dec at seller’s call.
It is new product, not old stock.
I have got some left over from this year that will ease the pain a bit. However,
“Never before in this Farm’s history will so much be paid for so few tonnes!”
They may have got us by the Goollies, but at least I know I’ve got it and what the price is.
The problem is that I still think there is substantial upside movement in the price of wheat to make a sale to offset the fertiliser price yet. Farming is all about risk, but that risk suddenly got far more serious.
By the time we will want to use it, we will have a clearer idea of what the price of the crops will be to justify how much we put on. Arse clench time until then.

Heard that some of the animal feed companies are expecting to be paying a figure starting with a 4 for wheat & barley at/after harvest.

If I knew for certain that will be the case, I’d order another lorry load. but we talking of fertiliser for use on the 2023 harvested crops, not this year’s, so there still needs to be some caution.
The problem being that it takes time for crop and livestock shortages to materialise into higher sale value prices back to the farmer. Yet comes down very quickly at the slightest hint of supply/demand normality returning.
A figure starting with a 4 for feed grains may please the grower, but not the poor sod that has to feed it.
Even if you are a mixed farmer usually letting grain walk of the farm, it will be temping to stop doing so. To the extent that anything walking off the farm does so in a rush, never to be repeated again because the livestock have all gone!

Does any one think the US government might help Europe out
by ramping up production of Urea ?
It sounds like they have the gas capability to do so if they wish.

Yes I too finally caved in to the “feed the nation” “got to be in it to win it” mentality.
Now just waiting to find out I’ve incurred myself an almost instaneous whacking great loss as soon as new season prices come out.
Now where’s the ovaltine.
Imported American maize with no import duty will surely compete with UK grain at those prices!?

Ordered 2 loads of urea this morning after similar conversation. Will still need a couple of loads of AN, will wait until Yara/CF/Pulan/Lithan come out with new season price. Am expecting it to be more than £650
Was offered 26N 9SO3 £608 and imported granular 33.5%N £687 this morning from someone else for delivery later in the summer
UK AN for use now £740 if you still need it.
Thought you said you’d have a year off and not bother drilling at these prices.

So you have never bought early before but now it is very expensive and far from guaranteed to rise any higher you have bought some?????
