Can you please explain what you're on about?
Actually thinking they will increase prices to make up for lost revenue
I have had one load of urea delivered and the transport company rang up a few days later to bring another. I said fine I would rather have it in the shed with the way the world is going. They then rang up to say they couldn't deliver as there was none left at Immingham for now?
How much is normally sold during July. Not uppermost in people's thoughts during harvest ordinarily.
I'm less keen to buy next year , my margins aren't improving
Even well capitalised farms will be crunching numbers

You can't really think that with all the advisors they have that they are unaware? Is it not part of the plan from higher up rather than our government? Look at WEF and their members and what is happening around the world.

My main concern is that fert I have ordered may not arrive.

Yep , then they will be doing the headless chicken stint trying to play catchup .....
peasant hill livestock farmer maths....
The extra 4 round bales/acre the fert would've grown, if I'd bought any, would've cost £17-20 per 4' round bale.
Spot market for hay locally is circa £20 per round bale equivalent, delivered. Less if you're not up a long difficult single track road with narrow bridges.
Safe to say, i won't be buying any again until a significant change in the maths.
In fact, I suspect I'll never be buying any again...but who knows.

Mine is "any origin" so Im less concerned. My daddy has some thats of a type and brand, and id be more bothered about that turning up given the associated country's clear gas issues.
I did a straw poll in spring, and it was clear that a great many farmers had cut fert purchases, and production would obviously be down.
Never heard Eustace give any indication that this might be an issue.

I cut fert use quite a bit, grass yield was generally lower by a third, cereals up on the year so far but this is all mainly due to the weather.
Milling wheats haven't enough protein despite the N rates being about the same for them.
