Maybe already discussed (cussed???) but I havent been on for a week. I called for fertilizer today expecting about $380 +/- per ton. Now $775 for straight Nitrogen. NPK is unavailable. Price increase is blamed on Russia/Ukraine War. Similar price increases in your area? kelly
 
Before all this started recently guys around here in Ny figured prices were going to be double from last year. Havent talked to anyone about it recently.
 
Prices have been up for a while and are rising in accordance with the rise on the CBOT. Potash as of a couple weeks ago was at 900 dollars per ton. Anhydrous Ammonia has been around 1.500-1,600 dollars per ton for a while now. I'm more worried about chemicals at this point in time. Nobody will give me a price or confirm availability but hints get dropped as to other farmers having their orders in. I've been asking since late last year and am getting fairly mad about it. For me it boils down to I am a small operator so my account gets the lowest priority. I have too many headaches in life at the moment without that baloney.
 
Ammonia here is 1600 a ton. Been that way for a long while.
No one here knifing any in. It's severely bone dry here locally. I don't think it would seal in if you were to knife some in, it's that dry.
Local suppliers might be caught in a little bit of a fickle (IF) the price does go back down. People were putting it on when the price went up. So suppliers had to stock some for availability. I would think they would need to move what they have on hand first, before adjusting to any kind of price reduction that may occur.
 
I have a cultivator and a good one, too. Case IH 183 6 row. Waterhemp and Marestail are too nasty to leave even a few plants and we have these weird seasons anymore where you get 10 inches of rain in 2 weeks followed by temps in the 90's. Could not even think about cultivating last July.
 
Anhydrous $1550 ton - but they won't guarantee the price or volume Last year pre pay in Oct 2021 was $510.00 per ton, in season $750.00
Round up plus concentrate $60.00 gal again won't guarantee price or volume (looking for 8,000 gal in totes)
Generic round up $40.00 gal. Last year we paid less than $12.00 per gal in totes.
Potash and phosphate similar price increases.
 
News said 40 % world potash supply comes from Ukraine. Doubt they ship any at any price now with the war going.
 
I watched as a entire train of rail cars loaded with potash travelled across a overpass on the road ahead of me today. My thoughts were , how much money would that train load of stuff cost ? Every rail car was clearly marked Potash, travelling west to east, just a little north of Toronto,Ontario.
 
depending on what your feeding them; your probably getting nothing. if you disbelieve me; have it tested. that how i learned. guy gave me a large pile, i just had to haul it. Guy told me to have it tested. I wouldn't have got enuff out of it to pay the fuel to haul it!
 
funny you would say that. Neighbor of mine pasture grasses 100 acres of corn every winter and puts out straw and cheap hay in the field with it. After 15 years he was down to adding $10 acre of fertilizer. He tests it every year and he said the soil got better every year and his corn looks real good every year. as long as we don't have crazy amounts of snow he said he got the same feed out of the field as if he cut it for silage.
 
That was from a press release of a congressman on the Energy & Commerce Committee from southern IN. Whoever did his research for the press release did not have their facts right. There are huge potash reserves underground just east of Kiev, eastern Ukraine but is not 40 % of world production as stated in press release. Since a war is going on above ground it cannot be mined. The take away seems if you need potash now from anywhere you will pay dearly for it .
 
I'd say you are wrong every year its very easy to see how the grass takes off where the cattle were fed,a very good way to improve land and it goes double for goat manure
 
Price increase was happening in December already, so there were multiple causes, not the war tho that helped make it worse now.

If you havent looked for other farm inputs either yet, be sitting down when you price anything, filters, oil, herbicide, etc. etc. etc.

You had to pre price, and maybe take delivery, in about August on ay of these things to get them.

Do you ever think we are being fed lies to explain away the
problems caused when there really isnt a problem
 
Any crisis as an excuse. Now that they wore out the nnalert thing, time for a new crisis. My feelings about all the price increases of date.....time to stick it to the consumer because everybody is doing it so jump on the bandwagon. I bought mine last fall figuring this might happen. Sure-nuff.
