Seems expensive then.

Does anyone have a current price for 38N(urea) 19SO3?

 

[Chae1]

Message offering nutri buster at £179. Is that a good price? 25N 5SO3 Na and Se

Sounds good to me. I paid £200/t for a load recently.

 

[DeeGee]

Early season pricing isn't a new idea

Have you got any more old gems like this advert? “Buy six tons and you save 180/-.” Or £9 in new money!
Would guess that this is from the late 1950’s or early 1960’s?
Great to see these old adverts and articles.

It’s a fine line between being a compulsive hoarder keeping everything, and just now and then putting aside occasional papers and magazines for posterity.
I do have some old stuff but I wish I had kept perhaps just one edition per annum from farm mags, local papers etc from the past sixty years. Like your Fisons ad, they would have made fascinating reading today!

Had a quote of £188 today for 15 ton pulan

It’s off our local lime supplier, an elderly one man band but the bill will almost certainly come from Thomas Bell.

It’s for a bit to put on grass late summer , I’m not having a full 15 ton, a few ton will be dropped off here for someone else to pick up to get a bigger load for a better rate

 

[Katarina]

I see. Are you down ceredigion or Pembs?

 

[Friesianfan]

I’ve just bought a 27n 12s blend for £180. Thought that was reasonable

 

[Tarw Coch]

I see. Are you down ceredigion or Pembs?

No, north Shropshire/ Montgomeryshire border, not far from A483/A5

 

[Katarina]

Not far from us in mid Wales then.

It would have if grain prices had gone cheaper

 

[crazy_bull]

It would have if grain prices had gone cheaper

Or if China had any to sell to India.

[David.]

Do we have a view on what happens from here?

 

[Eartha Kitt]

C B is correct - India cannot get hold of sufficient tonnes at the right price, mainly due to the lack of Chinese tonnes. India needs circa 1.5mn tonnes. The latest urea tender has just finished and India only secured to 120,000mt. So this means another tender, probably next week. The next 60 days urea prices are firm and AN is starting to look cheap against urea. Beyond this it is difficult to predict, as China could have more export availability. I don't really see much downside, and I don't see urea or AN getting near the early offers... that ship has sailed. Sub £200 for Nitram and sub £220 for urea was a no-brainer. Even todays N prices aren't too bad.
