What is the opinion that if these prices stay as strong as they are and around the world that usage will go down significant and crop yealds also then the balancing act of crop prices going up with shortages and do we buy some fert to apply to take advantage of higher crop prices ,who has a crystal ball ! Ore the opposite prices fall for crop, it's up in the air at the moment.

Farming always was a gamble, “Do ya feel lucky punk?”

Strange times alright.

I think the majority of UK farmers can afford and cashflow these prices this year but if you are a Canadian with a sh!t harvest or elsewhere without a strong economy you kind of wonder if they'd bother buying it.

The price rise caught me by surprise so pinch of salt here.

The world is short. If India needs say 5m tons, will it a) leave it's majority peasant farmers with nothing or b) put hand in pocket? Now apply to UK. Where is the imported product coming from, and why would it come here?

Its not even winter in Europe. Expect Russia to turn the screw on countries it doesn't like next.

U.S. House Votes For Sanctions In 11th-Hour Attempt To Undermine Nord Stream 2

The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has agreed to add legislation to the annual defense-spending bill that would place sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 project, potentially putting into jeopardy an agreement reached between the Biden administration and Germany in July.

Trump never said that

No, but he asked if someone should maybe look into it....

This has nothing to do with panic buying.

Yes it has partly, if you had 10k tonnes of AN in your shed costing £200/t and a farmer was happy to pay £300 then the next £310 etc etc you would just keep pushing up the asking price until everyone left said no... we have not reached the "no" point yet it seems.

For God sake everybody say 'NO'.

 

[teslacoils]

Given how little will be produced in the UK, then it will just go somewhere that says yes.

 

[Fuzzy]

Say NO

 

[B'o'B]

Say NO

So basically, Russia is holding Europe to ransom for gas.
That's the crux of the matter.
At least, that's how it seems to me.
Why else is the gas price so high?
Because we need it, they have it, we don't really, so they can charge what they like.

Who has the supply?
Who has the demand?

Not Russia's fault - they build a pipe to Germany and all that bring is hassle! None of us would sell straw to a stock farmer at under market value in the hope that when grain is cheap they will pay a premium in return. Our complete lack of alternatives (nuclear) or storage is entirely our own fault.

Just been quoted £550 for protected urea.

It will need protecting with an armed guard at that sort of money
