With only one CF plant due to be turned back on, and even then only guaranteed for 3 weeks, that still leaves a massive lack of supply to the UK market. Prices are and will be all over the place for a while so you will need to think long and hard if your business can really cope without N fertiliser. How many ton of cereals can you grow without it, how many cows will you have to sell if you cant grow enough grass etc.
In three weeks time will CF be able to ask for more? No one is saying whether it was CF or HMG who settled on the 3 week time frame.

Something interesting here to mention may be irrelevant.
A fair few farms gone off using fertiliser all together round here. They are on digestate and some have signed up now with tanks in too. A few more I’ve spoken to say they aren’t going to be buying any more fert and going onto digestate. There’s 2 massive tankers turned up with dribble bars on a couple of different farms both do contracting, one has his own artics and tankers to lead it. Results are brilliant too.
I wonder how this will effect the fert production and co2? In time
too much digestate will poison the soil after a few years

If folk have panic bought , then in 3 weeks they may be running out of storage again and be happy for another panic buy rush to clear some space

That was yesterday lunchtime, I purchased a load which is all my requirement.
Ok it seems I didn’t buy a load. Phoned rep today to order a few tonnes wheat seed and he says my order didn’t get put through for whatever reason. Only told me once I contacted them, unbelievable to a) not honour the sale b) not bother to tell me.
I am ever so slightly annoyed…
