If I get away without spending any more I'll be happy in the current situation
Certainly worth getting two quotes in west wales from experience!
Let them keep it, save the money in the bank for reduced yield for higher prices with reduced input costs. Mugs game buying fert at these prices, just buying money.

Aye and if the police say did the thief look like a terrorist i will say no ,not unless theyve started wearing barber coats, wellies and using tractors and trailers as the getaway!

if fert is dear/short, all that will happen, is less production, less production, means better prices.
Fert is a global price, l believe, so all over the world, these same conversations are happening, and less will be used, which will mean short global supplies of any product.
Price of product, is set by supply/demand, less supply, same demand, means higher price.
Farmers have been 'programmed' into wanting 'more, or bigger/better' in what we produce, and we do it, extremely well. To which the guvs thankyou for, that policy means food stays cheap, everyone happy, except farmers.
To increase profit, basically two ways, reduce cost of production, difficult, its screwed down tight now, or reduce supply, fert price alone, on a global front, will reduce production, to no ones benefit, except farmers.
With the present focus on climate change, for which modern, or intensive ag gets more than its fair share of blame, we will see a steady reduction, by laws, of chemicals/fert etc, to satisfy the green zealots. I really don't think, they have thought of all the long term effects, those products, they want to stop use of, are very necessary, for the production of cheap food.
Rather than moan about rising imput costs, we should take it as an opportunity, to exploit, to farmers advantage, rather than the 'rest'. I, for one, am fed up with the doom and gloom, spouted by the NFU etc, we have NO influence on how the guv intends to import/export, food or services etc. It's time we realised that, and look for the opportunities that will open up, the biggest, will be less food produced.

Calm down calm down!
and here's the AHDB's update to RB209 which better reflects the current pricing
great service from AHDB, reacting quickly to serve the market
Shame they can't respond quicker to the Red Tractor Scandal...............
This kind of service is what they need to keep up (and deal with RT ) if they aren't to be voted out of existence
Sssh done tell everyone or it will go mental as well

Yes, I know that price is for a granular, but that’s extortion, more than 4x the price I’ve payed AS.
