Fertiliser Price Tracker

[Iben]

memory of what that stuff cost after grain hit £200 in 2007 still hurts

If I remember. Fertiliser was unbelievably high in the autumn, due not only to very high demand from high global grain prices, but also to a couple of major fertiliser production sites off line at the same time. (did they not go on fire or something). Fertiliser prices dropped £100t by the spring, which probably hurt more than the high price in the first place.

Given the good futures prices for 2020, is it worth locking in and buying two years of N now?

Need space to store it.
I done it a couple years ago when urea was £175, worked out nicely, however this year I've only done the one year.
Not sure on long term pricing.
At the end of the day a tenner only makes £6-700 difference, but at the mo it looks like I will score much, much better than that.

This liquid pricing is ridiculously complex.
Why can't they all sell the same units?
Weight and volume is impossible to keep track of.

Yeah ,,,,,, they ought to sell liquid in cwt / acre to keep us older ones happy.

Fert price was high right through to spring 2008. Think I ordered my 16-16-16 in Feb that year & £520t sticks in my mind so took the plunge on Monday & booked next years at £315. Malting barley was back down close to £100t by harvest 2008 which hurt a lot.

I think you are right about production sites going off line about then. How convenient

I was surprised when I was told prices had gone up this week, when a previous post from you said it had actually dropped.

Urea does seem to trade £15-20t more up here than what I see quoted on this thread. Although even taking that into account, I thought it was high?

 

[Case290]

Calphos price ? Any bod had similar prices to last year or has that gone up to. ???
