Let's hope the fert price gets to £1000. Then watch as governments get squeaky bums as farmers ditch output. This is what they want anyway f**king retards. Maybe economics will do it for them, then they will be slating us for not growing more.
I don’t thing those that govern us have the intelligence to anticipate a problem,they think all they have to do is go to Tesco.🤦‍♂️

CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF), a leading global manufacturer of hydrogen and nitrogen products, today announced that its Billingham Complex in the United Kingdom will continue to operate through at least January 2022 after its UK subsidiary reached carbon dioxide (CO2) pricing and offtake agreements with its industrial gas customers in the country.

The agreements between the UK subsidiary and its industrial gas customers run through the end of January 2022. During this period, it is expected that the UK government and industrial gas customers will develop robust alternative sources of CO2 as part of a long-term solution for meeting demand in the country. The Billingham Complex is capable of producing 750 tonnes of CO2 per day for commercial use as a byproduct of the ammonia production process.

“We are pleased to have reached a commercial solution that enables the Billingham Complex to continue to operate through January, alleviating near-term CO2 supply concerns in the UK,” said Tony Will, president and chief executive officer, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. “We want to thank The Honorable Kwasi Kwarteng, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, his staff and our industrial gas customers for the speed and spirit of cooperation that have marked our discussions over the past three weeks. We look forward to working with them in the future as they develop a longer-term solution to CO2 supply and to support sustainable and competitive UK ammonia and fertilizer production.”

CF Industries’ Ince Complex in Chester, UK, will remain offline. The Company does not have an estimate for when production will resume at the facility.

Not sure why they didnt go to Drax, the biggest producer of Co2 in the UK and 3rd biggest in Europe, ironically they claim to be carbon negative!

and once the govt and industrial gas customers do find robust alternative sources of CO2 then presumably the Anmonium Nitrate factory will be switched off..... permanently ?
