Yara is by far the best quality fertiliser you could buy-

i wouldn’t touch grassland ifi etc after spreading yara

I’m out of market till late may …..know of a few around me grouping together and organising artic loads from up north …..the savings are huge in comparasion to what Liffeys and Arrabawn are quoting atm ….there dropping prices but not fast enough ….coops selling at high prices and dropping milk prices like lead will get little sympathy and custom and serves them right

Coops have a captured market, and they'll ride it. Only those who can pay up front can avoid their clutches.

Cf a shower of cnuts that make dirty larry look honest, tried banning urea under green agenda 2 years ago. Deadtractor went with them to make it limited use in the spring if you want to sell assured grain.

Nitram from Poland

Yara is generally miles off on price unless wanted veg type special blends or pricy trace elements.

Diamond

Origin big supplier of straights

Bunns

Most urea/an atm is not commonlly branded product from eastern europe or egypt

Blends are a very small size of the market now with straights working out 10's of percentages cheaper if you've done the work to know whats wanted and can swallow 2+ passes and a historic supply of cheap alternative like burnt chivken poo or slagg from steel production,sludge,digestate and greenwaste composting etc

Would straight p/k be used in the dairy world to front load or is that looking for trouble compared to crops as the saving can be low fractions and blends dont spread wide very well.

I suppose it's the smoke and mirrors suppliers use to make the margin bit like lime and wether they have sieved out the goodness to make cement and sell something that might start working in a few years, maybe.

What are the prices for the equivalent of 18-6-12 and pasture sward per ton up north. I rang fane valley and they kept on about the analysis of the fertilser, and they couldnt help me as they didnt seem to know the north's equivalent of 18-6-12 and pasture sward.

alps

AFAIK Fane valley are 50% owners of Drummonds. I'm surprised that they will compete with it's southern company.

Interestingly the other 50% is owned by freshgrass /(grasslands). Grasslands boss, Liam Woulfe is chair of Drummonds.

He is also a bord member of teagasc..

Bleating Lamb

Is there any issue with an ordinary part timer heading north to get a few tonne at a time?…….

Of course distance away from border would be a big factor.

I am surprised that any fertilizer retailers in NI did not know the equivalent to Southern formulation. There is more than one way to. E unhelpful.

It would be anti competitive not to quote. To plead to not knowing our formulations is a hand get out of gaol clause.

Prices dropping daily around here now in the smaller merchants. CAN can be got for €630 now in 2 places with one of them predicting it to drop more by middle of next week. Hopefully it stays going that way.

valtra2

Urea 765

Pasture swart 825

Cut swart 835

Urea €670 in the midlands.

There is one bigger merchant quoting €770 but I doubt he’ll sell too much when there’s 2 men within a few miles of him €100 cheaper.

Grueller

Are we all hearing the same as myself, that straight nitrogen I.e CAN and urea will drop away, but compounds are going to be stubbornly expensive for the foreseeable?

Hearing similar here but I think there's a good bit in compounds for later in the year 🤔

Yara urea is 565 in the south- it’s the same price in the north

ABitofsense

Priced couple local places today for cutsward. 850e & 810e in big CO-OPs in Midlands and 720e at my local small agri store. Some difference. Local spot told me wait till next week as they expect it to drop again.

jimmy G M

Just off the phone from my local independent merchant. Prices per Ton, bulk bags

CAN €720

You’re a better man than me or anyone else I know if getting urea fir 565 down here

I think it’s the fact of where I live- 25 minutes to the border- it’s also an advantage when selling dairy stock - cows tend to be cheaper further down the country

roosterman71

€830 for 18-6-12 in Tírlan/Glanbia/Avonmore in Laois. Was told to wait a week and it should be €800. Cash and no delivery

To be got today in Galway at 550 cash up front 🤑🤑🤑

jimmy G M

Where is that? Pm me if you prefer.

Itryhard

I'd appreciate a PM here also as to who the Galway supplier is. Thanks

Limestone Cowboy

Yara 18-6-12 €750

mr.stonewall

Surely in the current climate, has this the potential to bring down one of the big fertiliser companies

DBK1

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120402113#Comment_120402113

I doubt it. They mad €500 per ton plus on last years stock. They’re looking at losing €200 per ton on a small amount of forward bought stock this year before they’re back to their normal operating margin. I can’t see it troubling them really.

ginger22

Local merchant claims he is loosing 50 Euros a ton on stock only a week old. Prices are falling by the day.

Didn't make a penny I bet just like everyone else.
