I don’t know what that is, can you explain?That’s what you end up with in a monopolist system. One big dog calling the shots and manipulating the market for their advantage. The irony that the EU UAN anti dumping duty wasn’t kept says it all.

Not sure 50kg would cut it here , be dead by the end of MayThat’s a sliding scale of dose. If you have crops in the ground and no N bought, then it has to be worth applying 40kg and definitely not 240 kg. The clever bit it the line.
I am in the first situation and if I received a quote today for £600 (say €700), then yes I would buy for 50 kg N for wheat and barley.
I can't find that anywhere, would you be able to sent me the trails code. All I can find is loads of stuff about alzon urea.For those of you who are NIAB TAG members, have a look at their AN vs urea multi year trials
CF neglected to mention anything about nitrate leaching or the fact that they are one of the world‘s biggest producers of urea and anhydrous ammonia…!
I’ve never used urea before this year, so question I’m going to ask is urea applied at the same time as AN or does it need to be spread earlier?
a monopoly is where one producer dominates a market environment, without competition. In this case, the local market producer, having the biggest voice and influence, lobbying UK govt both directly and indirectly*, to apply legislation in their favour. For example, maintaining anti dumping duties on AN but dropping them on UAN. (Having their cake and eating it)I don’t know what that is, can you explain?
@Clive has been very quiet on this delicate subject
Sorry I know what a monopoly is but I was wondering what the anti dumping thing wasa monopoly is where one producer dominates a market environment, without competition.

*indirect lobbying from the AIC where they are the largest member and also have the biggest voice.
Hope this helps.
I will start next week on osr and winter malting barley, then probably a small dose on wheat. It takes a few weeks longer to activate and I want to get something on everything before spring drilling kicks off. If I was still using AN I wouldn’t be going.I’ve never used urea before this year, so question I’m going to ask is urea applied at the same time as AN or does it need to be spread earlier?
Not long till the next opening season .That will be the interesting one unlessbought all my N when books opened and haven’t really given the subject a thought since
we pay duties on goods imported from various regions. In the fertiliser sector, the EU decided to apply additional duties on Russian AN and UAN to protect their local producers. They considered that it would be injurious to the industries affected that cheap Russian gas allowed an unfair advantage over the EU producers. Hardly free market economics!Sorry I know what a monopoly is but I was wondering what the anti dumping thing was

you've bought two years worth.
you make that sound simple but when you buy the fert you will have no certainty as to what the grain price will be at harvest or your yields, fallowing the farm might loose you more than the grainonly a years worth bought but I did adjust my cropping to more ha of lower N using crops so maybe will have some to carry over
Next season is a concern, my willingness to buy N at these prices will be VERY dependant upon grain price at the time, if it doesn't look viable I will fallow the entire farm into CSS etc
Fert companies may think they can charge what they want but ONLY if farmers are stupid enough to farm in a situation of certain loss

But Clive CSS is a five year commitment to fallow?
Ab6 stubbles, now it's been confirmed you can broadcast a cover crop, puts a £200/AC floor in doing absolutely nothing. My CSS is for renewal for a Dec 22 start. Can't see peas, beans, oats really making that much. Wonder if it gets me any carbon credits too....
Well, as it must follow a cereal and return to the rotation after 1st August I'd say the max was 50 percent.is there a limit on how many acres you can have in that though ?
