Just out of interest for any of the more experienced farmers on here, I'm fairly young and haven't had a long career in agriculture, have you or your parents/grandparents ever experienced a spike in fertiliser prices before?
To the extent that we are experiencing now?
Also does everyone believe that if less fertiliser is used then there could be a reasonable reduction in harvests?
It just seems crazy if it were to happen, I can't imagine a situation where we're short of food... I'm only in my 30's! I'm sure if my grandparents were alive today they would tell me about such times!
