Are they going up or down, any quotes yet?
Did you get the silage ground grazed and slurry on?
I'll be 3 weeks behind last year at this stage with slurry and fert
If spreading 18:6:12 on grazing ground that is bare enough…..what’s the rough timeline for when it has a chance to react in the soil and actively aid initial grass growth?
Need to get it out but weather looks like getting colder from Wednesday on so it’s probably not wise to put it out till next weekend…..
Appreciate any feedback…..
Yarra nutriboost bought at 390/tonne back early Feb and Yarra ami pro 560…..bought years supply at those prices ….sitting pretty on stock of both atm and whilst it all has to be paid for it’s a help financially this year
Didn't CAN hit 800 during the start of the Ukrainian war. 530 could end up being a great deal
happy days
Can up to 530 tonne.
Anyone have the latest price for can and pasture sward? I have 80% of my years stock bought but might buy the last 20% now too and forget about it then for the rest of the year.
I was going to do today but fields are still tender enough eve with the good weather last few days . They wil just right Monday just in time for all the rain and we will be back to sq one.
I’m holding on for another week or two simply because it’s getting close to time to do the silage ground and it’s as easy to get the whole lot bulk spread at the same time
I wouldn't be too worried once it doesn't lash rain. Soil temp is 8.3°C here at 71% moisture.
I spread last Monday. 30 units to the acre
if ground was dry would you chance it?
Might go towards the end of next week, 50% of my ground wouldnt be travelable, at the minute, and like you said ground temps are low, in no humour to be wasting it
My ground is dry, would you have any issues with it getting potentially cold during the week? Just I was thinking of going with some
I went with my first round yesterday and today. 38% + S. 3/4 bag on ground that got slurry and a bag on places that didn't. Currently spreading the last of the slurry on silage ground and I'll go with 2 bags of Sulfamo in 2 weeks.
Have you any fertilizer spread yet? I was going to chance some but it’s meant to get cold again during the week

Has 18 6 12 gone up by €100 in a fortnight?
The 18.6.12 was around 580 a couple of weeks ago here and the 27s 550, so I would think its not far off.
Some one was saying on the radio that oil was increasing 6 cent in the wholesalers last night, so the pumps will be going up

It's only going one way
Interesting. Our piggery used to deliver it with artics but they got out of the trucks but still have the trailers. So ya can hire a truck yourself. Lad does it for €150 a load. They never spread it for anyone anyway but i'll ask. Might be a bit of an opportunity there
It's pig slurry, if you have maps it's free and spreading is covered as well.
No maps and you pay half of the spreading.
I think they're struggling to get lads with maps with the new soil sample parcel mapping.
You talking about pig or cattle slurry? Our local big beef man was giving away slurry and spreading it but then a few years ago started charging and ya spread yourself. The piggery is free if ya supply maps alright but they don't spread for ya or deliver for free
Priced 18:6:12 and Pasture Sward with Aurivo today.
18:6:12 is €645 a tonne.
Pasture Sward is :€590 a tonne.
Wonder is this competitive pricing?
Agree on all. Only thing some, of the pig slurry I've spread has caused some other type of weed to take over a field I spread one load in, fertiliser wouldn't have done it
If you can provide maps it's free local to me, including spreading.
Might change now, but still be cheaper than fert
They still charge for it
The last time fertlizer went expensive a lot the people with slurry started to charge for it.
Deprnding on your stocking level and if you have a bulk bin ration may be the answer
Gone up 25 cent today with local crowd, 1.75 a litre now, fertilizer price wont be the issue,actually getting it will be the problem
Only for the diesel which is equally as mad unless it's a short draw
Might be a year to keep stock low and utulise the slurry and local pig slurry which costs nothing.
