[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 7796359, member: 23184"] Bought at a sort of reasonable price, so theoretically economic to use normal rates at current grain prices. That said, suppose could sell it on for a profit. How does that work? Are there any rules to stop is selling it? Don't know. So maybe it's worth say £550/t even though I paid less than that. Therefore pull rates back 40kgN/ha and sell the surplus. In practice, don't suppose I'll bother to do that, hope everyone reduces rates a bit, and profit from even higher grain prices. From a world perspective, suppose it depends how many factories have reduced output, and therefore if that N isn't available, so lower N rates and yields. One thing that's probable - on average, rates won't be higher than normal, and probably lower. But if grassland farmers use lower rates, then they may need to buy more grain to supplement = higher grain prices. [/QUOTE]
