NITROGEN FERTILIZER PRICES EXPECTED TO PLUNGE AS NEW PLANTS COME ONLINE

Yes, forage farmer, you got it! Congratulations! lol.

My point is, we grow too well for what we are built to export. Yet we push for more production.

There is no ability to unload bulk fertilizer at the west coast and there will not be any time soon due to space constraints and BC unions. Only stuff coming in will be containerized. That is why we pay the Canadian price and the rest of the world pays world price.

Thanks. So fertilizer from overseas through Vancouver would be 1 tonne minibulks in containers or packed in ships holds. I think I see a logistics problem.

ItÂ’s time to start thinking about spring fertilization. We are seeing some positive direction on the price of N (urea) at the Twin Cities terminals. As of this writing, I can source river open urea at $350/ton. This is down $100 from where it was just a month ago. I think we will possibly see a further drop before planting, but remember that we need to still get it out from the terminals. P and K pricing is staying flat and will most likely stay that way or even go up slightly at planting. I would highly recommend that every farmer with a liquid system look at Pro-Germinator and Sure-K as their total P and K system because the price is down 20 percent from last year and itÂ’s a way to efficiently deliver P and K at a lower price.
