A perfect storm.Hugely serious situation.
Nah , we've got the new weapon , quantitive easingA perfect storm.
In fact, the 70s second coming.
Energy outages > price inflation > wage inflation > BoE caught short > IR increases > capital depreciation > land prices collapse > idiot buyers taking up the slack . . . .
.
Oh yeah, we’re really struggling… All gone to sh!t!It will be the impact on pig and poultry slaughtering that really bites. Hugely serious situation.
Quantitative easing surely means currency devaluation which for a nation of importers goes on to create price inflation followed by wage inflation.....Nah , we've got the new weapon , quantitive easing

or sell fert at £500, pocket a massive profit, plant wheat and wait and see what happensRule of thumb is 1% reduction in rate for every 10% increase in price of N and 1% increase for every 10% increase in price of wheat.
With AN at £500 and wheat at £200 we'd be looking to cut back by 7-8% on last year figures.
But, fortunately, it's all in the shed at £275 so probably we'll go for a 2-3% increase here.
Is that 2 to 3% really worth bothering about????? If I can get my total N applications to within that % I fell chuffed with myself!!!!!?Rule of thumb is 1% reduction in rate for every 10% increase in price of N and 1% increase for every 10% increase in price of wheat.

That was my thinking,second and third cuts on a non dairy/AD farm are now going to be very marginal,especially taking it to account self propelled or wrapping costsNitrogen at £1 per kilo N is still the best paying input for my farm.
Putting in all my fert at today's prices, I'm still better off growing wheat. I can't grow a crop rotation without it.
No doubt you will know if, at these prices, you are going to adjust your fert inputs onto your grass, and if that is profitable re milk.
My ryegrass is my biggest use of nitrogen. I've not done the figures. I suspect third cut may not be worth it. A late extra nitrogen application to push milling protein currently isn't worth it.
Might join you on that pal! The beer especially!Took no chances here , ordered fert and stocked up with beer .
Yes , I'm all wind and pi55 , ha ha haLooks like all the hard talkers have capitulated and gone for cover.
No.Is that 2 to 3% really worth bothering about????? If I can get my total N applications to within that % I fell chuffed with myself!!!!!?
On the bright side , no sb volunteers to kill next spring , whoopeeInterestingly there seems to be a relationship
building with the amount of tons of fertiliser being
needed by those also looking to benefit from carbon
credit trading on the premise of sustainable, enviromental benefitting no till farming.
Have you finished planting?On the bright side , no sb volunteers to kill next spring , whoopee
