    Recycling sulphur.
    However S is easily washed out of soils, so the expert who advises S in Jan would want to be buying it for me...

    We never had a need for sulphur here until nitrates directives came into force. Always covered farm twice per year with pig slurry. Used to keep it ticking along nicely. Bloody stupid reg. They'd rather we got N and P out of a bag. There was no great saving cost wise when you had haulage costs paid but there was far more benefit than the major nutrient value in the pig slurry. We hadn't spread bag P other than putting it down with the seed on tillage ground and our indexes were always good. In fact we were locked out of the piggery at least once in the noughties and nineties because our P levels were getting too high. That was another benefit of it. At least bi-annual soil testing for free.

    You think it'll rise next year? Any reason for urea over the AN?

    Not a lover of urea here, it's tricky with weather.
    Not bad prices though...it was a Corkman that told me to check prices.

    FJ reported that wholesale price has dropped by €30 a tonne, but their only passing on €10 of it.

    http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=urea

    Came across this when I was searching for something else. I know it's in dollars but it does show a drop of over $60 per tonne of urea since feb. Lots of other commodity prices there too.

    Moved to spreading straights here. Were spreading blends 18’s etc. Just using Urea, straight Phos and MOP at back end, with S as required. This should cut our feet spend by 10%. (CAN when conditions not suitable for Urea)

    Only issue is two extra rounds with spreader without N. Any pastures not reseeded in past 10 years receiving conventional treatment.

    All ph over 6.5

    I've spead 23units of urea on all the ground in January. Will do the same again after grazing. No lime required on any of the ground except the 13 acres i bought in December. That needs Ps &Ks too... and a few days with a 20 tonner.

    Not really at the scale here to go with straights. And time is at a premium with the day job taking priority. P is index 3 or 4 throughout and only a coulpe of fiels in 2's for K.

    345 per ton urea on the account


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,736 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    I think I read in Journal a few weeks ago that fert prices are set to increase as year goes on.....must price around in next week.

    Do people find that some smaller co-op stores charge a premium for waiting to deliver the fert till you actually need to use it?....

    Don’t mind paying upfront but don’t want the stuff delivered and sitting in yard till April when it’s dry enough to put out on land.
    With all the drones scoping out farmers yards now you could wake up some morning to no fertiliser!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,611 ✭✭✭Mooooo


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭farawaygrass


    Gen38% +7 sulphur (protected urea) 360 last weekend
