I got that 24 4 4 with sulphur ordered on the Tuesday before the war on the Thursday, thank god because its a job to get it at all now. Putin won't pull out, he can't lose face, he will bestroy russia ukraine and the rest of the world first.

Just out of interest, and I know there are a list of variables miles long, but what percentage would a typical cereal crop yield with no fertiliser, compared to if it had received the full amount?

30 to 50%?

The crap with fert happened before Putin invaded Ukraine

10 if you're lucky

10 if you're lucky

10 here, too, but on much better land after a good entry, say beans, maybe 90 - or even 120 where N's actually driven it down..

Depends if you've got 50 years of continuous cropping, or ploughing up PP.
Used to get 1-2 ton acre of barley growing it organically. Lots of FYM used, but barley followed spuds & veg and didn't get any.
The biggest problem isn't low yields, it's low bushel weights, pinched grains, admix, etc. Merchants will have to be less fussy........

Granular urea looks a "good" buy against it

 

[Old apprentice]

Just an idea for the guys with no fert how would it be if you baught urea and disolved it and sprayed wheat every 10 days with 8 kg of urea in 200 liters of water per hktr .

Well, you'd probably spend a fortune in application costs, and also loose the will to live if you had more than a few hundred acres to do.

Reality now if you've no fert but planted crops is you buy fert; accept poor yields; or see if any neighbours have spare feet on the basis that you replace it next year. Worth an ask.

Fortunately I have fert . I was just su jesting exploring ideas.

I shared a load of urea with a neighbour for £885t. Mine will be for next year and sincerely hope thats the highest price I have to pay!

At 1000 per tonne no one should be using more than 170 kg per ha

all fertiliser rate calculations should use £3 a kg on
the 70 kg reduction saves £ 210 per ha the yield reduction will be less than a tonne per ha less phosphate needed
running the combine for a day less only when grain is dry will save £ 15 to £ 20. Per tonne in fuel gas and electric

Do you take into account missing out on the increased yield with the probable higher prices for product

 

[teslacoils]

Everyone should use 20 to 30 percent less......except me.

From a business pov, the last thing anyone wants is for the UK to have grain to export.

sanctions will be in place way after, or even if, Vlad pulls out

Russia is a huuuuuge supplier of fertilisers to the world. The effects of the sanctions are immediately felt and will remain for a considerable time

World is in a pretty worrying place!

Iv been told by the tanker driver who was told by a farmer who was told by a traveller that milk could reach 50ppl so we need don’t need to be running out of silage!

Any feed grade urea available @Adam@Rumen

 

[Sheeponfire]

Possibly very prudent, if however cull ewe prices remain strong/increase I would rather kill more older ewes and keep the flock young

Trouble is milk will only get to 50ppl if you do run out of silage!
