Fertilizer for spring 2022

[zeefarmer]

Are there any Canadian companies that are importing non-North American phos?

They are going to charge max what they can cause 10% of the farms will do really well , they could care less for the other 90% ..... for now
A agree case and forage ... will see come late winter

Sounds a lot like (I think it was 2008) the same thing happened late Aug and Sept fert prices rocketed up but fell sharply in the spring.

I haven't phoned my fert guy as of yet as I always buy in the fall except the above mention year I waited till spring( if I have the year right), but I would never buy at that price for the upcoming spring.

Maybe late Nov or Dec fert prices will come down which will offer a buying opprotunity.

yes it was 08, after the financial crash
dropped like a rock
actually the only time for us , that we got burnt by pre buying
but i can't make any sense outta pre buying at top dollar

Depends on the mood of farmers after this yr. Are guys gung ho to go for it again, or are some horns going to be pulled in. All major crops are hovering in the $20+ range and likely to carry into 2022.

Thats probably too much money to not roll the dice again.

Not sure if this has been discussed lately, but I spoke with my local Nutrien rep and told me that phos for spring was around $1000/mt (stored till spring). I think we paid around 630/mt in nov20.. are guys booking Fert at these values or does a guy play the waiting game and see who blinks first?
