[Cows 'n grass]

As a comparison 0 12 12 fiberphos is £94/t

I'm having 0:12:12 fibrophos tipped for £85 at the moment.

 

[YELROM]

We pay £4/ac spreading approx 250kg/ac which sounds enough compared to yours at variable rate
What do you mean when the strengths are equa

That's a £38/t price difference to compound when the strengths are equalised. My Fibrophos gets spread on an area rate of around £10.50/ha due to GPS variable rate dosing. How do you pay yours? What is the spreading cost per tonne?

lised ?

I think the difference is just haulage costs

0.24.24 is twice the strength per tonne as 0.12.12, therefore to directly compare price the 0.24.24 application rate needs to be halved to give the same dose of P and K.

I see, i was doubling the fiberphos price to compare it

I guess it must be but I thought it was all produced in Norfolk and I can't believe I'm much closer to Norfolk than North Yorkshire is.

Google maps says Norwich is 275 miles or 6 hours in a car from here.

We had some last year and |I am fairly certain it was drawn out of store in Wilts.

 

[Brisel]

John Hatcher has stores all over the country. There is a lot of 0.12.12 stored near me in an old hangar belonging to Ings though it's origin is still Norfolk. They accept it is produced all year but need to stockpile it for mostly summer spreading.

I think the difference is just haulage costs

Price is similar around the country but haulage will play a part. Even if it's coming from a more local store, it's had to be hauled there and storage paid for.
If it's any consolation, it seems it's cheaper in Dorset than in Norfolk.

this stuff is a waist product produced every day and the disposal of it would cost far more than the storage and haulage to a farm who can legally use it

 

[Mounty]

Yes, well aware of that @yellow belly . Just trying to work out how a 300 mile haul and storage charge plus localised haulage from store to farm makes the product cheaper on farm than a 20 mile haul from source direct to farm.

Makes £200 urea look cheap.

Makes £200 urea look cheap.

Have tried urea on grassland a few times, every time the stock don't like it. Seems to make grass less paletable.

 

[David.]

What is the science behind that, have you ever looked into it?

Funny I've only ever heard people say the opposite before that AN causes palletability issues. I use 99% urea here with no issues.
