Are they going up or down, any quotes yet?
Up the way. Quoted 465 for urea
450 for small amount of urea plus sulphur delivered
460 for straight urea. Going up to 470 soon I was told
was chatting to a man I the industry last night and he was saying it is only going one way. Upwards. Aparantly the ghost boats from Russia that were leaking in stock across Europe are being stopped and along with the recent increase in energy prices is resulting in higher wholesale prices. Don’t k ow if it’s true but that is what he said
why is everyone over here saying prices are going one way….are they trying to offload stock?

Fertiliser mustn't be that bad, I see between Nenagh and Borrisokane a lorry went into the ditch and lost its load of Fertiliser some time after Christmas and there is still tonnes of it lying in the ditch.. would have thought someone would have had to clear it up.
got quoted €480 for urea today in south east and €490 for 18s
Can Urea + Sulphur still be gotten in small bags
Has anyone else an eco payment showing today?

most likely pro urea ….personally won’t be using any pro urea till weather not suitable for normal urea ….and at that it will only be straight pro urea from Yarra if I do
yes
Anyone any info on this 'eggshell soil conditioner '
I have a hilly/mountain ground that wouldn't be suitable for a lime spreader but was thinking of applying some of this to it. Any thoughts???👍
490 for 27-2.5-5
Was told it worked for a couple of lads, that's 3rd hand. I don't think its mad money, could be worth trying on a couple of bits to see if you notice a difference
Yea was thinking I might just get 2 ton of it and see what it's like.
Red House holsteins up the North used it last year. I don't know how it worked. The stuff is absolutely stink so you'll want to keep the doors closed
what sort price is that ??
150 stg per ton. That's collected. He named a few different yards close to me that I could collect it.
I'm only getting 1 ton first to see what's like. I got the impression if I was taking 4/5 ton or more, that it would be delivered.
I wouldn't expect delivery of such a small amount
You'd probably want to be wary of salmonella from it from poultry. May be best not spread on ground that would be grazed in the near future. If spread on ground closed prior to winter or going for silage in a good while ahead then probably safer.
Never thought of that
It makes lime look cheap. You would get a lorry of lime for 2 ton of that. Or a few bags of granulated lime.
If you can't travel with the lime spreader, either ask him to only take small loads and you will give extra, or an old rotary dung spreader or transport box and shovel. I would not be inclined to be paying that kind of money.
Conventional Lime spread on land that needs it is money well spent. I would be slow to go experimenting with anything else.
In my view, if you are looking at any new products which are marketed as sustainable, they need to be at least on a par with what you are using presently pricewise. If you go to the supermarket and you see a new product, it will be sold at a big discount initially to get a share in the market and then the price will increase. Farming should be no different. Take protected Urea, if they want people to use it, then it should have started of cheaper than conventional Urea, not dearer!
The first thing that needs to be sustainable is the viability of the farm…
anyone ever get the second grade fertiliser from Kilkenny? All ours is spread with a bredal.
