No fizzy drinksThe CO2 implications will drive this issue in the media for Joe Public. They haven’t worked out the implications of no N and see artificial fert as a bad thing anyway

No beer

Even the Mail has jumped on the bandwagon, with a typically erroneous explanation :-No fizzy drinks

Germany is a lot more reliant on gas than the U.K. lot of it from Russia. I’m surprised that the Russians haven’t taken more advantage of it in the last few years. The green lobby which have persuaded the government and joe public that coal is the demon may change their minds when there is a genuine threat to the electric supplyDermot Nolan, director at Fingleton Strategic Consultancy and former chief executive of Ofgem, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme gas prices have increased not just in Britain but all over the world, with "Germany and Spain experiencing similar types of increases".
He said "high gas and high electricity prices will be sustained for the next three to four months" and that it was difficult to see what the government could do about it.
Statutory 3 day week - that'll fix it.difficult to see what the government could do about it.
Care to elaborate?It still pays at these prices.

why when the cereal price is so good?the cropping area round here is falling
one estate will have no combineable crops planting big areas of un fertilised grass or legume mix next harvest another has several hundred acres of non combineable crops
if this is replicated across england the cropping area needing fertiliser will be several hundeds of thousand acres less

I’m a grass based dairy farmer.
Rule of thumb is 1% reduction in rate for every 10% increase in price of N and 1% increase for every 10% increase in price of wheat.Nitrogen at £1 per kilo N is still the best paying input for my farm.
Even the Mail has jumped on the bandwagon, with a typically erroneous explanation :-
- Two of England's biggest fertiliser plants - which use carbon dioxide to produce ammonium nitrate, which is then used by farmers for their crops - have shut down, leaving bosses concerned over the potential consequences for family essentials
