Fertiliser Price Tracker

Tbh unless there's a terrible spell of weather most farmers of arable land will be tripping over the money this harvest. The trick is going to be squeezing another good year after it. I'm going to do something I swore I'd never do again....grow 50ac of beans.

21 has been bloody good bugger it in for a pound & all that.

So rang at 11 and prices pulled Only had 3 loads to sell. Just spoken again and he could have sold his allocation 10 times over. What is happening as got to be criminal if this isn’t price gouging I don’t know what is. The county is going to be begging for food and this just pushes farmers towards low input stewardship or fallow. If anyone important reads this fert companies and the government letting this happen are the ones to blame for this fiasco rather than farmers

Usually buy imported AN such as Pulan / Lithan, as its a decent product and usually a bit cheaper than CF. Is this going to be the case this time or do we just watch the price for CF / Yara products ?

CF are €70 less than the European prices. Wouldn’t wait long for imported product. Support the British brand

Do they normally play the same game? Never bought any. they opened in france and are getting more than £630 aren't they?

Why are we all dictated to about a price for this and a price for that we should all grow a set of balls and turn the tables on them! (Got to go the mrs wants something).

Last year I was offered N at £279 in June. Didn't buy as that was up from£192 the previous November when I bought. Regretted that and bought at £485. This year? Who knows what is the right thing to do? War finishes and Putin allowed back in to polite society again and it looks expensive today. War trundles on and more sanctions against Russia and gas goes up it might look cheap?
