When was the best time to buy Urea?
Seems that the common answer is, "Yesterday".
After falling +/- $300/mt from the highs of 1h Jan, trade for Feb has bounced back by $100/mt to $700/mt FOB Egypt; still $200 better than 1h Jan of course!
Trades done today could be available for farm delivery 1st week March. Too late?

Urea on farm 1st march would be fine.

It would benefit from loads, to add Organic matter and phosphate, but with a dry year and good establishment 5t/acre is perfectly possible with 4t the norm.

In the last 20 years i have not applied any N before late march, usually too wet to travel.

5t is a dream for me. I am hitting 4 reasonably regularly and would think some fields will do 5 but there is always one or 2 that pull the average down

I am always reminded of my old agronomist, and talking to him the other day told him so, who alway said feed the flag leaf. Its amazing how plants can pull nitrogen in when we think it's too dry and we often risk crops running out of steam by going with the last dose to early, particularly with AN and liquid.

As Colhonk said. Mine's probably not the best land, it gets as much muck and OM as I can lay my hands on, can't say it's min till as yields are pretty much the same as when we ploughed and combid.

doesn’t look good for domestic AN production. Or the 60% of the CO2 market that this monopoly producer supplies. Seems a lot of people had their heads in the sand. Including HM Govt.
