Fertiliser Price Tracker

[crazy_bull]

I dont have enough knowledge of the whole industry to comment one way or the other. My question is fert was £600ish a ton then the government subsidies the manufactures to continue production but the price did not come down, if the government had not subsidies them would the price of Fert be even higher or are the manufactures taking a bigger profit?

During the short run they were subsidised you may have noticed CF prices were initially below imported prices, so they were cheaper than elsewhere. It was only for a few weeks they were supported.

Household energy bills likely to go up 50% in spring , dont sound great for fert plants opening up again

It doesn’t sound great for me either. My 4 year fixed price electricity contract runs out in June.
I was hoping we might of got back to something closer to normality by then.

If you still think this is fert companies trying to profiteer your are living on planet zog.

Yes, because the ag supply chain never tries to shaft the good old farmer.

That helps, its definitely not worth buying it thinking you might get your money back.

A merchant told me it will be £1000/t in January. If I can even get some at that I would be lucky. Transport going to be a serious issue to. Better order now.

If fert prices don't stabilise I may listen to @Janet Hughes Defra more attentively

I was under the impression that prices had been pulled now until the new year, you’d better brace yourself

I’m thinking it’d have to be all spring barley with a good dose of pig slurry / muck before drilling . Then shut the gate fertiliser wise , or umbilical slurry on to winter crops . That’s all my neighbouring pig farmer does on his one field of winter barley . I combine it for him and it’s usually 2.5 ton acre . If barley stays at £200 ton it’s £500 plus straw per acre to play with.

Back in the bad old days when wheat was £60 ton. We grew a lot of spring barley with turnips between and muck applied pre drilling, there Was a bit of winter barley to spread harvest but not more than 1/4 of cereal area.
No more than 70 units on anything ment a lorry load of fert went a long way.

I can't wait for @silverfox s photos of his spring barley with 5 foot wide tramlines

Surely its not worth buying at that????? Split what you've got over your area and take what you get.

I was told that was to put the frighteners on the importer, it undercut them considerably for a day or two to make them nervous to commit to another load.

maybe Defra will come to their senses and spend the Elms money on vouchers for fertiliser .
If they don’t want anarchy on the streets when folks can’t afford food, that is .

I fear that's going to become a reality.

I think I have mentioned food production in the ask Janet threads . They think it’ll all be roses when we chuck the plough in the scrap heap.
