Don’t be a clever d**k you know full well that is a comparison of unit N value.
Used in the right conditions Urea is a very cost effective form of nitrogen.
I use both urea an AN in the appropriate conditions, the urea improves my margins (y)

It’s all you can get in Australia I believe. Crack on I say just be sensible

Ultimately everyone has to do what is best for their own business, however I find it somewhat ironic that whilst some farmers are moaning about imported corn undercutting grain prices to the point of ceasing trade with a firm for conducting profitable business that no doubt some other merchant would have facilitated had they not done it. Are often the same who are more than happy to buy an imported product that undercuts a domestic market. This is not a dig at you by any stretch, just makes me scratch my head at times.

they employ british people to manufacture it.

Edit:

I believe the employ circa 550 people in the UK.

Glasson and Bells will employ a fair few British folk too...

I'm just referring to you previous point - there's a big difference (in my opinion) between asking folk to buy my British lamb and beef where all revenue is spent in the local area, and a massive American owned multinational company who just happen to do some manufacturing here.

Apologies for taking the thread off track

You would have thought people would like to source their lamb from somewhere local or even in the same country that they live in. As opposed to having it shipped from an unknown area

Like I have said you do what is best for your business, I have no problem with using imported fert, meat, tractors, trucks what ever you want. It confuses me however when alot of farmers will harp on about wanting a protected market for their own produce (note a lot of livestock producers benefit from lower import grain costs for their feed yet a grain farmer may bemoan the imported grains undercutting their market) but want free access to global markets for their input sourcing. I sell both imported and domestic so I don't worry, I just like to point out the irony in a lot of the comments I hear daily.

All 550 of those people will be contributing to their local economy, and i'm sure CF will pay UK tax on their earnings here, so your local area thing is moot, yes profit may be sent back to America (I don't know it may be re-invested in the plants). Should a farmer employ foreign labour who are sending their hard earned cash straight out the country to support their family back home? You do what is best for your business :)

Be better to buy Pulan at mid £230s rather than Nitram at £250 unless you're spreading 36 meters surely?

maybes your right unsure, got sum nitram left so kinda want to keep it all the same also, just 24m here.
isnt pulan smaller prill like some of the other imported stuff? by heck Nitram is accurate thru spreader like no other fert.

I have said sod it to CF this year and bought 2 loads of Pulan myself for £240 pay Sept.
Usually buy it off them through a large buying group but it was a bit more expensive from CF and I don't like the way they behave. CF also wanted £2t for it in 1t bags!?
Still waiting on a Urea price from our group.
It is one advantage of being on 24m, the choice of fert you have. The pulan will be just fine through the KV Geospread which has cut my fert bill by 5%as well.
I have used pulan before through a Kuhn fert spinner in the past with no problems spreading.
