I can only confirm what I've heard.
Sept or Oct delivery payment in Nov with £1/month if delaying payment.
I'm sure that or very similar will be available later, just at a dearer price.

No October delivery slots been released yet, Sept got filled within 48hrs.

Managed to grab some select grade AnS at £185 last week. Unsure what to do about urea. Will the election cause a big shift in the currency? As mentioned on here before - urea prices in $ at an all time low.

Now $20 up off the lows, unfortunatley.

I've had enough of CF and their silly games. If they come out with a new season price then surely it can last for a month or so, not just a few days.

I will be buying Lithan out of protest.

They've lost my custom, I'm boycotting them.

CF, go stick your fert!

I suggest everyone else does the same.

Why stick at a price for a month when the rest of the nitrogen market is edging up, you just follow it, surely you wouldn't set your grain price you were happy to sell at and as the market went up just keep selling at the lower than market price?

Have they gone up in real terms, I think if you have been buying prudently the price increase has been modest!,
2-3% at most. that is just the cost of money, I have clients who expect a small increase in costs if the expected cost of their sales is good!/profit!
it all keeps the wheels moving.

Really?
Atlantis came out in 2003 and I remember the quote end being sub 120. Sure someone's got a 2017 quote is I've not used it this year. How much has your walking fee gone up in that time? I bet it's nowhere near the same percentage

Ok then, almost all time low. Still pretty attractive as a world price compared to the average of the last 5 years.

Given I always wish I had bought more when it's cheaper (though often rarely have the money to do so) I often think it would be sensible to buy at any price you can get that is less than last year....and if so, buy 50% extra too. That way when the price goes up you've plenty in stock you bought on the way down.

Farmers always hold wheat on the way up, and sell on the way down/at the bottom. So surely buying fert on the way down (I.e cheaper than previous year) is the most logical option if you have £ and space).

I would be happy to be proved wrong...but I bet the chem prices have increased at a greater rate than wheat prices.

I'm not saying price rises for chems are wrong by any means....just that it squeezes margins if supplier price rises aren't able to be passed on/included within the selling price.

The spend per ha has gone up hugely because of resistance, declining activity ( wouldn't use 0.5 of epoxi as T1 now ) , black grass , flea beetle etc etc

Been quoted £183 for blue bag this morning 20T

Are people buying at these increased prices or is it a wait and see game now that the first flush has been done?

 

[robbie]

I'm holding off, I was told if it gets much dearer imported lithan/pulan will be come competitive and force UK down. That and a strengthening pound after thursday (assuming a Tory win) will help keep prices keen (I think).

Also have CF really sold as much as they make out? I was told when the prices where pulled CF had filled it's books up to October, this morning I had a message saying CF still had space for July,august,september delivery so perhaps they're trying to sway the markets.

Jeremy Corbyn if elected will reduce the price drastically.

Of Corbyn gets in, he will take the rich arable farmers fert and give it to the needy dairy farmers.

Are you hoping for a drifting market like last year? I've left mine up to the buying group for liquid tank fill.

No, I bought all my N requirements and 80% has already been delivered and is in the shed
If current prices offered hold it was a good move.
