Belle Plaine urea picked up

[Kihei]

any quotes ?

[farmaholic]

Are you registered to get in there to load? Wouldn't you have to go through a "retailer" anyway?

[Kihei]

yes on both accounts

[farmaholic]

$520 "delivered" to my yard, 95kms away from plant. Calculate what you think the freight is worth...

About 300 per tonne because with where natural gas is ... Yara's cost to put it in a truck or railcar is about 150 cdn a tonne.

These prices are ridiculous.

Grow more make less.

Everyone else makes less and profits more.

Imagine where grain prices would go if everyone went organic.

Wholesale 397 a mt going to a distributor we get loads out of there for trucking

[Kihei]

So approx 100$ mt goes to retailer for a phone call ?!?!

Leaves alot for the middle man that is using the farmers credit to order.

Why can't a guy just call Yara and have the same trucker as the retailer uses pick it up.

Not thinking about urea yet. Just back from Kihei, Kihei.

Ok, someone is ****in lying here!! Who can pay for their fertilizer with a credit card? All I hear is whining from the retailer that the margins on fert are too tight to allow CC payment like you can on seed and chemical? Comments?

[Guest]

all but one takes cc here

[Oliver88]

Haven't ever heard of no credit cards allowed for fertilizer?

[farmaholic]

FNA fert plant start-up? How's it going, I'm not on board?

I heard their goal isn't to drive fert prices down but supply fert at wholesale cost to it's member shareholders. Then pay dividends to the same for extra product sold to retailers at wholesale. Wholesalers make money.....

What I meant was if you order fertilizer the retailer will use your line not his.

It would get put on my fcc account before belle plaine had loaded the truck.

Retailers have zero risk just an easy 100 bucks a tonne.
