£200/t wheat ...

Wonder what next RPI CPI figures will be !

Inflation will fall as wages and productivity rise.

You may well be right.
But, just take a look at episode 3 (Crisis) to see how we headed for a severe food shortage as all the World's underground aquifers are depleting/if not are already depleted.
Then take a look on the Mike Mitchel YouTube channel to see his harvest results.

Look at it from 7 mins 20 seconds.
Yields of 1-2 bushels an acre that he cannot sell because he and everybody else needs it all for seed to plant next year.
I'm not sure that the market has realised just how serious the situation is yet and I'm not selling any more grain yet, in the hope that it will.

I have a friend who is a trader and he thinks the Canadian and USA poor harvest is already factored in and we will see maybe a little bit more uplift but not much. Possibly £250 ex farm for group 1, but its already nearly £240 anyway so its not a massive amount more. We've sold 15% of harvest 21 at £232 to put a base in it but don't want to hold this year so will be selling the rest in 2 chunks around christmas.

the way world fert prices are this is bound to have a massive affect on yields across the globe next year? most wil cut back a bit, some wont grow anything?

Yes we will only be feeding wheat to achieve 3t/acre of group 1 and not worry about protein levels or a premium.

 

[Steevo]

Also, not every farmer worldwide will have the capital to spend out on fertiliser at these rates. UK farming is high input, high output. Not all others are.

Will be cutting my wheat N by 50 units an acre.

Why will inflation fall if wages rise surely the opposite, and why will productivity rise if wages rise?
The best way to raise productivity is to get the feckers not working and costing society out working and contributing

Sorry I refer you to our PM’s speech at this week’s Conservative party conference.

How much do people normally put on milling wheat these days. Havnt grown any group 1 since skyfall and that needed a ridiculous amount of N to even get near 13%

30kg for every ton of grain. But then we aren't blessed with biodynamicly active DD soils.

Are you being ironic?

We used to have to put 350+kg to get N on skyfall!

Ouch! I dont envy you there and can see why you dropped it.

225-250kgN/ha seems to work for Skyfall here.

Just really struggled with it, don’t know why

 

[teslacoils]

I find rb209 quite accurate when I input soil nitrogen plus applied, then divide by protein adjusted yield.

 

[tw15]

If fert already bought early no real need to cut back if you are still waiting to buy it looks like you have big problems the fert that is being made today with todays gas prices is only going to land in this country in December onwards . Cant see it dropping by much until gas drops back dramatically .

Generally 225kg/ha N will get group 1 and 3.5t/acre yield. However we can get 3t/acre and no protein with 150kg/ha N so that is what we are going to do.

 

[average farmer]

That’s our plan, aim for 150 kg and 3 tonne anything else is a bonus. I’ve known 3 tonne crops that’s had 220 kg N

Depends on the role of the higher paid staff but it implies higher productivity.

Yield of an 365/24/7 automated car wash compared to 3 men with buckets 9 to 5.

Some people are counter productive - George Useless for example,
