That sounds reasonable we are paying more for a lower specced Turkey muck, delivered though, dread to think how much it wil go up this year.N 32- P 16- K 16 + S 5 £15 ton
Ashamed to confess I buckled… angry at myself more than anything for not buying more forward.Does anyone know of anyone actually buying at these prices?
No real talk of fert with anyone I've been chatting to and no interest until spring. And thats at prices nowhere near those, with axan at 440, and no one buying it.

urea @£720 and sulphur £230 for early osr.
Price is utterly crazy but more concerned about the first timing
It won't be 200 euro by March .the drop in the price of electricity and gas continues, I trust that nitrogen prices will drop shortly
if the trend changes and it starts to go down, I am satisfied .... it starts with something.It won't be 200 euro by March .

I think most from the trade have tried to deliver accurate information and a view on the market. Most have been encouraging growers to buy early, as we could see where prices would go - I'd take that as good advice, not scaring farmers. We are part of a global market and it looks tight until Q2 '22. Despite gas prices softening, urea prices in Egypt, the U.S and Brazil moved higher. Prices WILL drop, but it's looking increasingly doubtful for this season. Add into the mix haulage issues (this is widely reported in the media before I get accused of scaremongering) then spring deliveries will be tricky. I would imagine it's going to take a number of weeks to deliver up outstanding orders.Love it how the fert boys on here continue to talk the prices up,I think most that have panicked will have bought by now(myself included)but the ones with big balls will sit it out,I do think and hope that they are right, don't see much more new fert sales until prices ease,as for shortages,the fert boys would have us believe it's scarce but I would rather it came from an independent source.
Don’t forget the Govt handout to CF only lasts til Jan ? ( might be Feb )I still don't seem to be seeing many prices for Nitram at the moment. Are they actually selling any or are they just producing it to fulfill earlier orders?
The problem is that we hear these reasons to buy early every year. It would help if those in the industry didn't cry wolf so often and we might believe you a bit more. The really annoying bit is I think that you are right this time. Prices here have been going up at the same steep rate as worldwide prices. When worldwide prices do drop (which could well be sharply) I doubt if it will fall as quickly here.I think most from the trade have tried to deliver accurate information and a view on the market.

P.s trying to cancel orders when you've committed to buy is terrible and should not be tolerated.
