Urea

[farmaholic]

Called a local supplier this morning:

Urea: $570 now and spring(for me)


Sulphur: $470


Phos: $750

No horse shit here.

Anything under $520 is below what the dealers are buying for. So you know the next round will be $560 plus.

two more quotes at 555 and one at 530

Just noticed your post.Your right I don't know Klaus, but the quote ($495)I gave you is correct.

Don't make accusations about me "laying on thick" just because I put the effort into getting the best possible price.

Forage, please post the phone number where I can call. I'm covered for now but there's always next year. I paid $510 for the urea we put in our bins last week. I use straight urea in the midrows so direct drop loads to my farm are possible(doesn't matter to me where it comes from).

$750 sounds high for phos.

I'm with BTO, compared to our commodity prices, I think fert prices are nuts. Last year I paid $470 for the N. $40 a tonne higher this year with lower grain prices. Hmmmm????

I use S15 for a P source. I think I want to change back to straight P as the source. Just wanted to add a bit of sulphate and elemental sulphur to all the crops......S 15 used as a starter in the seed row.

Screw up on my part.

Checked my prices after my last post, ($495.00 picked up) was what I paid three weeks ago.

I should have looked at prices before yapping.

No problem.....

I have been checking as well and most have a "computer price " of well over $500, if I would pull the trigger on some direct loads its under $500. I think this is another 2008 where
1. retailers are loading out blends of fairly high prices stuff and don't want to undercut those farmers that priced earlier.
2. They are all sitting on high priced inventory
3. Manufacturer is still pushing the line that pricing will go higher to the retailer

Can $2.50-$3.00 corn in the US support higher fert prices? I don't think so. Either the farmer or the manufacturer will have to blink first.
