    When the weather starts to dry everybody will be fighting to get the fertiliser out fast and you could be waiting for a delivery and wait and see the price will go up the minute there is demand !!(as usual)

    Plenty of imported stuff (not on pallets)(YARA ,i think) working out cheaper,keep it in mind.

    I'm wholesaleing fert and there would typically be a drop around this time but none on the horizon yet. International prices still strong. That's what had me curious about who said it was going to drop.

    Non offence hammer but when I and others gave quoted prices for urea and can in jan of 340 and 285 you said couldn't be done.it has gone way up since to be fair but usually the market is slack this time of year and prices get competitive again in early June .my merchants yard is like this time last year full of stock with little buyers,I am currently only buying what I need on a weekly basis till June 1 then back shopping for a load

    Everyone is going hand to mouth at the minute, both merchants and farmers. You never what merchants might do with a yard full of stock that isn't moving

    As important as I think I might be, me talking the prices up or down won't influence the retail price of fertiliser. As for prices, no problem. If your in the trade give me a shout.
