Fertiliser Price Tracker

I have just been to the start of my sage system;

AN del 31/3/99 = £70

Wheat loaded 1/4/1999 = £69

That’s crazy. No wonder fields looked so green on dairy farms when I was a nipper!!

And yet they say there's no correlation between cereal prices and fert.
Bit of a coincidence fert goes through the roof just when cereal prices go to record highs.

I wonder where fert would be now if cereals were £100-£120 per ton, I lot less than they are now I bet!!!!!!

The golden age of dairy farming ?

Starting to see bits on youtube such as this, Australian TV is at least showing awareness of how critical the N situation maybe (even if it's not a serious news program).

I’m sure the first tonne of fert I ever bought was £83 for imported AN in 2000

Depends which news outlets you follow. GBnews seems to be reporting quite widely the upcoming economic meltdown.

I don't think the world has yet realised there's going to be a large drop in production , they will later this year

Tomorrow?

But that channel doesn’t report News, just opinion, and from a narrow cross section of mouthpieces.

BUT l will be really pissy, if fert drops back down to £4/500 again !

It’ll make a few of us chuckle though

but I’d wager that it’s not coming down …….

 

[cousinjack]

But will the neighbour still have any pigs next year? Its looking fairly desperate.

At this rate, the pigs will be worth keeping just as fertiliser producers

I never have used liquid fertiliser, does it come in drums which you add to the water in the sprayer,or is it bulk liquid which you fill the tank with ? At what price for prills will the liquid become a viable alternative? Sorry for so many questions in one post.

There’s two types,
Liquid fert is usually bulk delivered but can be ‘made’ on farm. It goes straight in the tank and is commonly applied with dribble bars that apply at much higher rates than chemicals. Nitrogen levels applied are similar to granular.

Foliar fert comes in drums or IBC’s which you typically ‘water down’ and apply like you would a pesticide. Nitrogen levels applied are typically much lower via this method, but can be used to top up

hope that helps …

My dad asked me a couple of years ago how much was I paying for nitrogen. He laughed and said he could remember when 20-10-10 was 17 pounds a ton and wheat was 27. But you got a subsidy on you fertilizer of I think he sad 7 pounds a ton. Golden days but sh1t loads of hard graft.

When fuel at the pumps went over 100 pence per litre, many people including myself said it would never return to below a quid. However it did and on numerous occasions!

GB news is opinions from a very small section of people living in an echo chamber who are contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. The likes of Lawrence fox, james dellingpole, Julia Hartley brewer are all of that ilk

Thanks to an armada of LNG from the good ole US of A, I see that the local gas indices are falling:

Dutch TTF Natural Gas Futures Pricing

Contracts are for physical delivery through the transfer of rights in respect of Natural Gas at the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) Virtual Trading Point, operated by Gasunie Transport Services (GTS), the transmission system operator in the Netherlands. Delivery is made equally each hour...

www.theice.com

More or less the same level now as the point when the local AN producer switched off in September...

Worth noting, however, that forward gas prices are still at the same level.

Six or so weeks and will be starting to sling some on.....

In energy news, Germany switches off three of it's six nuclear reactors tomorrow. The other three at the end of 2022. Good thing it's got a secure supply if gas......oh.
