    Sure you guys are up to speed with this

    The biggest impact of coronavirus on Ag will be the availability of chemicals. Large factory and logistic shut downs - chemicals could feasibly be in short supply ahead of the season.

    Double hit in Australia demand will be unreal in areas that have had flooding rains

    Many boneheaded farmers head in the sand ah it’s just chem suppliers tying to push prices up.

    This is a black swan event in chem industry.

    Other furphy my chemicals are manufactured in Australia errrr bad luk guys your Corect except raw product comes from China.

    People have zero idea the world needs a healthy vibrant China and its economy strong, Tarif war muddied the waters.

    All the rhetoric USA will beat China in trade war no one really understood ramifications on both sides now chuck in corona virus this shit is getting serious

    Wool industry in a spin as well

    Live cattle exports in a spin won’t let Chinese vessels dock here in short term

      Agree. This shit is getting serious if "chuck" has corona virus. I thought it was only Trump! Still "like" me cc.!

      This may have a silver lining should the chemical companies not have the supplies for next crop. It would suddenly be the case that forced organics will determine whether the world can continue to grow surpluses that depress prices, that piss grain farmers off.

      I would bet that their warehouses are full of product for this season. Those formulations were already mixed prior to this outbreak. Perhaps, all bets are off for 2021, but by then there will be a vaccine. In the meantime, hunker down and survive.

      Can catch a flu, but can't catch a break.

        Don’t know if your aware the biggest numero uno chem factory blew up back in September as well.

        Factories warehouses maybe full nothing is shifting.

        Don’t shoot the messenger every farmer in oz is getting requirements know rather than usual April May.

                Question...

                All the money that FNA has taken in since harvest for spring/summer delivery of chemical...

                Is it in store?

                Can you get your money back if they can't source it?

                Can you demand that the product be dropped in your yard tomorrow afternoon?

                      Got to agree with Helmsdale, we haven’t bought from fna for a while because of ongoing rumours of cash problems and the fact that they delivered phos a month late at seeding 2 years ago. Now with quarantine problems, this could be a nightmare.

                        Read all your posts.

                        If I wasn't a Canadian, I'd be an Australian.

                        Are your buds getting their chemicals, or just on a waiting list? I know about lists. You are number 29. Six months later, you are number 29.

                        Best advice, relax, rehab, and plant a garden you can hoe! You may be broke, but at least you will eat!

                          Many guys me included thought about 2 weeks ago shitze this might be a issue

                          This week was actually a few grain brokers raised the issue said could be problem going foward.

                          I had no idea that about 70 of chems in the world now are manufactured in China and and 85% of raw product is made in China other player is India, rest of the world is a minute percentage.

                          You might hear our chemicals are Canadian made o the likes fact is it’s still Chinese origin the ingeridiants

                            But the truly startling thing is the % of our antibiotics and generic medication that is now manufactured in china..
