It might not be that i thought it would drop i have a smallish suckler herd and make hay and haylage for the equine market,and with current prices it just doesn’t add up.
having done some figures it starts to become viable when there is a 5 in the front wether we ever see that again 🤷‍♂️.
if you go on sml there is loads of ridiculously cheap fodder so wtf
The urea I bought for equivalent N makes Nitram £553t

yup. that's the full difference. A lot of folk allow for 10% inefficiency factor.

Inhibited Urea - with full efficiency - and you're right
I don't do the 10% being a professional farmer who always manages to get it on at 20 degrees or below and just before some rain.;)
Ps there must be some bloody professional farmers in Australia for example with the amount of urea used there!?:cool:

I would go as far as to suggest 10% the other way, if applied well/luckily, due to no leaching, slower release, reduced disease risk, better palatability and less/no acidification.

Sure!

The main source for UK is Egypt.

Algeria attracts duty at 6%

The last levels done would suggest farm levels would be in the range £730-£750 in big bags. The recent Egyptian sales, largely to cover short distributor sales into France and UK, have risen by around $30-$40/mt. Replacement today, I would imagine, would be at levels around £780, give or take

If you want to keep buying AN at £725, fair enough; it's a buyers prerogative. At current levels, Urea is "worth" £820, give or take? Conversely, Urea at say £780, makes AN worth about £650...

You pays your money and you takes your choice...
Doesn’t seem never mind to me. Thanks for price information though 👍
