Yes it is high and gonna get higher by spring so it might be to your advantge to buy some now,China is not helping with this,they are taking alot of it,plus with more corn on corn acres the demand is high,thats what i hear from all my reports

Saw a guy on TV the other day predicting $400-$450 N next spring.

This is gonna hurt corn acres and production without ethanol being in the picture.

I put out 44% Urea 2 weeks before Christmas. Was $300 bucks. Only needed 10 tons, could have gotten it for $290 for a semi load. Laughing

I was only hearinig the price in units and that was bad enough.. Trying to figure out how much we will need on the annual field this year. Cows deposit a lot of manure out there for the Barley to grow on but the barley will eat that all up before we get to the Millet planting... Decisions, decisions, at least I don't have to buy any Phosphate this year... Or ever.

I m hearing that 46-0-0 is going to be darn close to $500 a tonne come spring. We use a fair bit of 46-0-0 when we seed in one pass with the air seeder so Im not looking forward to it. Rolling Eyes

I think we will be growing a lot of oats because they dont take as much nitrogen. Smile

Ouch. Bought a boxcar full of 46-0-0 before planting wheat to save a few bucks, but of course the railroad lost the damn boxcar...finally made it to the right destination and not a moment too soon.

We bought a bunch of urea last week for $440 Canadian that our dealer had booked at a good price and offered to his best customers first. Anything he didn't have booked is already at $500.

Isnt it funny how when grain prices start to sneak up fertilizer and chemical takes a good jump as well. Doesnt seem to happen when grain prices go down though. Rolling Eyes

It sure is nice not to have to worry about. Looks like the decisions made 3 years ago to switch to biological farming were the right ones.

$8 an acre inputs are not too shabby.
