I thought it would be interesting to see what effect the fertiliser price and availability is having on farm that will effect overall production.
@Clive could this thread be put in multiply locations?
Nope Nothing like that just interested what is actually happening on farm, as you hear lots of reports that people haven’t bought anything. But thinking about it it’s probably better left in the dairy section.why ? sounds a bit like a supply chain data collection exercise to me ?
Surely it’s no different to comparing milk price?Somewhat sensitive information , I'm oot
Do you normally charge for that type of information from the forum……why ? sounds a bit like a supply chain data collection exercise to me ?

I’ve changed the votes to not show so it’s Anonymous now but it’s your choice of coarseno we don't
we allow lots of surveys, all for free, mostly from researchers or students on here asking for help, we don't allow any commercial surveys
I'm not saying this is commercial but it's not information that I would be prepared to give away personally

Both of those will save N but will drive up your protein requirement.I've bought everything I would use in a normal year. I think availability will probably be even more of an issue than price for 2023 so I'm growing more maize and fodder beet instead of grass silage and kale because of the lower N requirements so I'll hopefully be carrying at least an artic load into next year.
Will you graze the fodder beet? If you do I'm fairly sure that the protein would be higher than lifted beet because I think the leaves are higher in proteinThe maize will be fed on the shoulders of the season when there is plenty of protein in grass and the fodder beet will be a wintering crop instead of kale so hopefully it won't drive protein requirements too much. I've already bought all my cake for the next 12 months.
