Fertiliser Price Tracker

Keep up at the back, it’s 60 now.

At that rate in two years we will be able to put our feet up

It's great the prices are dropping so much.

Between fert prices dropping and fuel, things aren't looking as disastrous as predicted this winter.

Doesn't look like powers going out, going to be a gas shortage, or fertiliser.

Or accept that is the yield potential of that particular area of soil and do nothing different. No additional cash spent on any input.

This is the thing for me, obviously look to see what the issue is and repair if possible, we are slowly shrinking our heavy clay y notty patches with muck and gypsum etc but some bits If I had variable rate, I am probably better of reducing all inputs, the issue is though I haven't got the technology to do it and often in a really bad year (in certain conditions) they can outperform the good bits.

I would normally put up a picture of Justus Liebig's Law of the Minimum, but can't be bothered today. There are lots of schools of thought on variable rate treatment. Make the combine driver's life easier with a more even crop or chase the potential of the better bits and just provide the basics in the poorer bits.

They never seem to show the label of the plank which is letting all the water out….!

The planks for water and soil conditions are too tall too, but you get the general idea

Light land and lack of water is what kills our spring barley crops off.

Used to get off with it in wet springs/summers.

Tryin Rye this/next year to see if it fairs any better.

Being widely reported on the news that gas prices are back to pre Ukraine levels. Very mild winter in Europe so far.

If you go onto oil prices.com you will see for yourself

It doesn't suit the 'cost of living crisis is all Putin's fault' line, but gas/fertiliser wasn't cheap pre invasion. This time last year - £700ish for urea, but there was probably a bit of slack in that after shooting up the previous autumn, similar to now (the slack).

Anyone bought UREA from Chinese supplier through Alibaba?

You look at it as well and wonder how much the import duty is on a container

Its exactly 0.

 

[daveydiesel1]

So how much is it with shipping?

I dont have a quote yet, but will be supprised if its above 400USD/ton. I guess shipping to Norway is more expensive compared to UK. 20ft container is now 2k USD, 40ft is 3k USD. That is from Chinese port to my yard.

I'll let you know the price.

I'm tempted! Think a few should do it as a trial.

If you'd facilities to melt it, not a huge risk.
