Fertiliser Price Tracker

[Rookie]

I see India has approved a £3.8billion fertiliser subsidy.
They're not intending to have a hungry population.

Knowing our government, We will probably send them aid in the form of money to help them subsidise this.
Mean while back at home !!??

This country needs a Hungary spell to make a lot of people sit up and take a bloody good think to themselves.

Effectively following China with their fertiliser export kerbs.

 

[More to life]

Any guesses whos likely to be the last government to take action

 

[Will Blackburn]

Meanwhile Russia's grain export tax plus high input prices will stifle production

Exactly and while back at home the luvvies will be patting themselves on their back for supporting those poor starving Indians, while they are tucking into their wanky quinoa and chickpea salad, produced in India and denying some poor starving family......

We'll be starving, but as long as we cut our insignificant contribution to global climate change...

Was quoted £620 for Yara axan yesterday. 27N 7.5S abut it’s probably gone up since then.

Have you seen the Sainsburys adverts for "halffest".. half meat half protein grown from the other side of the world!

Its coming i think

It’ll be worth risking a few ruts and driving on with the slurry tanker I think .

wont need the ruts if you get the sheep on to take a light bite before april

Not if there isn’t any dead birds in it. Layers Muck can be guaranteed carcass free compared to broilers

Botulism

Herd of a man that lost 200 cows with botulism carcass in silage then threw mixer wagon .

I have the ability to melt down urea, I wonder if putting say 5kg/ha equivalent of this liquid in as a foliar with sprays could be a good way of getting better N use

Definitely. Urea applied in that fashion is supposed to be 4x more efficiently used (iirc) than when applied as granular.

 

[Old apprentice]

Could do, but would need a nurse tank

It has been done just with tankers.

 

[glasshouse]

It’s comes from reputable places with no dead hens .

Six weeks still too tight

I guess it won’t scorch at those rates ?

no, correction required, they will be starving, but we will have done, what they thought they wanted.
and l won't feel bad about it.

[RAF]

U can for blackleg to but they still drop dead . I wouldn’t risk it

 

[PSQ]

How did they grow crops before bought in fertiliser ?

According to the 'Statistical Account for Scotland' in 1790, the parish averaged "5 bolls per acre of wheat", which roughly translated is around 740 to 800kg an acre, less 90kg an acre for the next years seed.

This was on a 10 year rotation of 5 years grass followed by wheat, peas, barley fallow and oats. "Turnips do not do well in the parish as the soil can not be made fine enough". Rent was 23 shillings.
