Fertiliser Price Tracker

yes it is , quoted 370 about 6 weeks ago my man thought it had topped out and may come down . no idea if I'm right but i can't see it coming down much anytime soon now

I'm not going to buy until the spring. If it stays high then the spring barley seed will stay in the shed.

Genuine question, but are people really paying these prices?

If so, is it for the comfort of knowing they have some cover for a least some of their requirement, or because they think the price will only go up?

Not bought a cube yet and no intention of doing so this side of xmas at this rate. I hope I'm right!

No.
Last time Nitram was having a laugh, in 08 was it, at £329, and Urea was £425, and if your not quick about it you won't get any, etc. The correct course of action was to tell them to stick it where he sun doesn't shine.
Perhaps crops will be a shade less green next year, and we might learn something.

My N spend is £80 next year , Revvystar is £50 a litre , I know which gives the best return .

Policy is going to dictate it cant be used in the autumn and only on growing crops in the spring. Sure more will be used but we will see massive gear being used to try and apply in a timely manner. They simply won't be able to get around it all.

If they enforce the new rules, they will have to.

too much digestate will poison the soil after a few years

I wonder if more frequent lower application rates would be so harmful?

I bought some a few weeks ago as cover at £340 and at the time I thought that was to dear. My dilemma now is: Do I buy some more at way more money?

How does liquid n compare to bagged n in price?

 

[DRC]

Wouldn't have the sh!t on the bank , full of heavy metals

That’s sewage sludge . The digestate we get has come from maize, rye and beet feedstock

So urea is £1.10 per kg of N, the crops I've just harvested were grown with urea costing 45p/kg N!!!!!

The ‘Englishman that lives in France’ seems to have bought old stock from a local merchant that has chosen to continue selling that old stock at the price he was charging for it a few months ago, rather than profiteering from the recent price run as most would here.
A good merchant to do business with.

I was told 10-15 cheaper for liquid compared to bags but that was 10 days ago
