A little note to the agrium dealers?

j_w, did your fertilizer arrive via rail car at a close location or did it come into your yard by truck?

I could care less about the Hut's, thats a different world. My beef is that all farmers in North America are getting screwed big time here thats it. How can someone ship fert half way aroung the globe for about 1/2 than what we pay here and it is produced here - something is drasticaly wrong. Good on the Hut's, but it should at least raise your eyebrows. We are going to sit and wait right wrong or indifferent - we have been getting fed a line of B/S for too long.

Which is why free trade and competition are so important. That's what keeps everybody honest. We need to make it even easier for fertilizer producers around the world to ship into North America.

i wonder if any quality control will be done at the unload at the port? it isn't really like the chinese to be out undercutting others with the same quality. if it seems to good to be true..... on the other hand maybe they just want to help out canadian farmers.

I think they just want to sell into a massively overinflated market, kinda like HRSW in the U.S. last March. I bet most everyone in Western Canada would have liked to sell wheat for $20 /bus if we could have, no?

CNBC talking heads mentioned UREA down in price this week due to lack of demand.

Last i heard, China had an export tax on fertilizer products that was hovering the 200% mark. Why would they sell into north america for $700/MT??? When is this product supposed to be here?

Boarder bloke I got it delivered to the yard for an extra $10 a tonne which is reasonable, or I could have picked it up in Moose Jaw.

j_w, good deal.

last I heard - 150,000tn of 48-0-0 was brokered through MNP delivered to western Canadian Hutterite colonies for $575/tn from a Chinnies firm. If this true, which would be a good thing, it will leave an extra 150,000 tns available in the western Canadian supplies. Time to sit at the poker table a little longer boys/girls.
