the new season stuff that is being delivered now was made before the oil price went so high. Then they are drip feeding it into the market. Personally bought lithan as a protest against yara and cf games.
Do you sell corn at a lower price because it was made with cheaper fuel or fertiliser, or do you sell it what the market rate is?

Have things calmed down a bit now? Bet cf and yara are feeling like Ronny Biggs after the the great train robbery...... thinking how have we got away with that!!!!
Up £10 at 12 today. I've caved in and going to order some. I can only see price of wheat going up so figure N prices will follow suit.

Bought a load of lithan as a protest load! There's not a big enough price gap to make it worthwhile buying imported.

Do you not find lith the same if not easier to spread than british? stored british a couple years ago n it was crap, never had a problem with lithan - cant get my head round people buying £10 more for the same product in different bags:whistle:

It's much smaller prills. It runs like water. Smaller prills will be lighter and more chance for spreading pattern to be disrupted by wind and other factors.

Just taken a load of lith this week to use straight away on grass......runs faster, but not by a huge amount. Cal factor on the amazone... lith..1.25...nitram..1.15. The lith is very clean out the bag, as it has already been mentioned, affected by wind more. Overall quite satisfied with it. £216 delivered this week, ordered last week
