Buying Direct from Bell Plain!

[SASKFARMER3]

Some one see if their is a way to purchase Direct from Bell Plain. Either using a US fert Dealer and Canadian Pick up. He gets volume farmer gets the benefit.
Why do we have to eat the mistakes of Fert Companies. Why is fert cheaper in USA than in Sask.
I mean if I hear that commercial for Sask Potash about food shortages and their here to help farmers feed the world BS I am going to loose it. They might have their head office in Canada but the useless tool who is their CEO lives in Chicago.

when i was at mosaic potash I got the name of the saskferco salesrep. Phoned him to see if I could buy direct. Essentially he said they have to protect their dealer network.

That's the same BS that two Equipment builders in Regina said the other day to me.
Starting to think just going to seed and use the exhaust method and some starter fert and put the $500,000.00 in the bank.
Any one find a Us dealer willing to resell product to Canadians.

little off topic but FNA
$650 Non members 46-0-0
$600 members
pay now pick up Saskatoon,
or delivered you arrange trucking

For those that say that's too high , don't buy then, I'm just passing along information.

Does FNA actually have any fertilizer bought? I think that they are just getting farmers money together and then hoping to go shopping and find a deal. This didn't work so well last year as they couldn't get enough farmers together in time to get the cheap product. If the late to purchase farmers hadn't bought fertilizer to average the price up the deal would have lost money.

FNA told me you must order by end of Nov.
Product will be ready for pick up Dec. Jan. So no worry about getting it. And was told it is almost sold out but who knows. Cargill Horizon is filling up farmers paid storage to the lid with cheaper fert. but no prices from them yet.
As far as I am concerned Belle Plaine should give their dealers a break on the high priced stored product, some dealers are going to take a real licking, what kind of dealer protection is that???? Assholes.

From an I email received from a MB farmer:



46-0-0 is 450$/short ton in North Dakota , 500 $/straight trailer delivery into Southern Manitoba

[broker]

any prices on 11-52-0?

[broker]

Larry ad your trucking and exchange, and your at same price as local dealers.

11-52-00, is $1000/short, do math to long, figure trucking and exchange, no difference.

Bottom line $450/US = $650/Canadian.

WTF.. "the exhaust method" you can't tell me you believe that load of crap. You'd be better off farting in the ground than blowing tractor exhaust.
