    Does Yara sell in small bags or is it just all the large bags? I see them in the coop but only the big bags so far. How are they price wise compared to the others?

    Prices went up this month. Dairygold give a 6 euro early delivery discount. Had trouble with protected urea +S last year so not getting it till I use it this year. It has a short enough shelf life esp when there is S or K in it as well


    As in up since beginning of February?

    Anyone needing fert that's hasn't bought would want to get on it, thought they where exaggerating in the comic but they aren't, rang around this morning and prices are up 40 euro plus ton for 18.6.12s on a load I bought in January, had to buy another load this morning as 2 lads I deal with said serious supply issues are occurring and whatever is in- stock now is all they have to sell

    Well they can hardly blame high crude oil prices or high transport prices. What's the excuse this year? Going organic just got a whole lot more realistic.

    Didn't a dept of ag rep on a fert industry zoom meeting say that the price of fert needs to increase to dissuade and reduce use? They want to hit emission and water targets. But it was said.
    I doubt it'd work to farmers who don't know any different but who'd turn down that request from the dept.

    Only codding it's probably Brexit, Covid, the Olympics or something..

    There was a poor harvest in a good few countries last year. I imagine that these is a big push you crease production. COVID has probably not helped either. I bought mid January. Looks like it was a good decision

    Has anyone priced 18:6:12 in last week or so?.....where they would be paying in full for it now and leaving it in Co-Op yard till needed?

    Have contacted my usual supplier but he hasn't got back to me yet....I see someone said above though that it's gone up 40 euro a tonne with them since January:(


    I was pricing for 5 tonne that I wouldn't be collecting until April.....just be interested on various prices Nationwide....in North Leitrim here.

    They do have small bags, but a retailer once told me that they don't start bagging the small bags until late in the season for some reason.

    Just wondering about brands of fertilizer. I use to use target about 5 years ago and found it no good.i heard later that there was a bad batch for a year or two where they got it somewhere else and it was no good. But I have heard lately that has being resolved and its sound again . Has anyone else out there heard this .

    Heard about a bad batch of target last year, neighbours who had used it said it was no good (in 2020)

    Use Goulding’s here and couldn’t fault it, anyone have any experience of Nitrofert?

    What problems had you with it? I tried it a couple of years ago (maybe not target) and all I got was yellow grass after the dry May, when the CAN my neighbours were spreading kept their grass going that bit better

    Just on the topic of fertiliser brands, I had an interesting conversation with a man recently about that. He maintained that some brands were cheaper then others, he recommended Goulding what are people's opinions on this?

    You would have to imagine that some level of quality control has to take place on Fertiliser production so there could not be a big disparity in ingredients across different brands?
