What are your thoughts on the fertiliser price s for 2022

Yara have cut production in Northern Europe by 40%. Prices are going to go up.

Maybe the way to hit back is to reduce usage, only way to hit the c##ts

Maybe if one is stocked high, they should be reducing numbers, good time to be reducing numbers..

GrIain price is high so Global demand will be high.

It appears that the shortage / price increase is due to a big hike in the price of gas in the UK.

Fertilizer factories have stopped production because it's uneconomic.

This makes no sense that they would stop so fast. How do they know it’s uneconomic? You just pass the price rise on to your customers and they will decide the economics of it. Fert is needed.

Lads looking at liquid fert for next year. Some farmers around here reckon gran fert might not be got

What's the process of making liquid fert is it something that can be done here, going to buy a sprayer here for next year and was thinking of trying the above with that in mind

It's the first step to feeding the biologicals.

But you're still not feeding the biologicals. The stepping stone is the sprayer.

And then you really need a big sprayer if you're competing with the fert spreader.

And then it's dependent on the weather whether soil or foliar. And then you need to be careful of not overdoing it with liquid N and poisoning the stock and silage and then damaging the sprayer. Simple dissolve urea though. No protected stuff.

The biologicals will follow on.

(Better practice what I'm preaching. All takes time.) 😅

Big question is how does gas supply/demad go over winter. Things could be squeezed a lot higher yet

Highly stocked or over stocked?.

Used a bit this year …v happy with it …contractor supplies and sprays it …only difference on sprayer is different set of nossels for liquid fert v normal sprays
