[QUOTE="CORK, post: 7768411, member: 2193"] You need a bit of luck at times but credit to contributors like [USER=2059]@crazy_bull[/USER] [USER=148747]@Eartha Kitt[/USER] and others . They were highlighting the price rises in early spring. I normally buy now for next year, on average it has worked out better than waiting till spring. I usually watch N as a barometer of prices, P & K less so. I’ve recorded our purchase prices going back over 10yrs. The cheapest we bought CAN was €195 and the dearest was €312 over that time. My view developed over the years was that if CAN is below €250 then it’s probably not bad value. We bought at €200 in August 20. It was €225 in Jan 21 and plenty of indication of rising. Therefore I bought the full 22 fert requirement of N, P & K in Jan 21. A few months credit and delivery in late summer. To keep the taxman right, I’d be buying some time in 21 anyway so it was just 6-7 months early. You make a decision and take your chances but access to good information is very valuable. [/QUOTE]
