Fert Prices...

[bucket]

Wait til they tell you the reason for high priced fertilizer seed etc.

Fertilizer is produced for around 300 a tonne anywhere in the world.

Why they gave to double the price in canada is beyond me.

If it costs 300 a tonne to produce in the Ukraine. Should be the same in belle plaine saskatchewan.

But what does this dumb****led farmer know.

They're using the CDN dollar/exchange rate for he excuse this year for high prices.
Bought our fert 10 days ago for similiar price as mentioned on here.

I agree with saskfarmer about being sick of it but also hate getting screwed by waiting. Just because they can.... It's all part of the racket. Like it or not it's become the new norm.

But does it have to be. The USA farmer is in deep financial trouble. Some wont believe but its true.
lots had trouble getting money for seed last spring. Just talk to seed reps from the USA or Bankers or Auction Companies.
So in Shit hole Western Canada why does any one think its any different.
Farmers need to just say for once F$%K You and walk.

Had it not rained this summer. The whole farm was going into greenfeed for 2016.


Minimum input. Very little chemical or fertilizer.

Cut it and get the out of this rat race.

Unfortunately that thought disappeared when it rained.

After i get the crop off, ill take soil samples, then ill crunch #s, then ill start shopping. Until then they can pound sand.

Fna no different with chemical sales right now that i wont use till next JUNE! Considering that their bargain basement price in nov last year was higher than my local coop sold it at seeding time i think ill use tvm to my benefit there. Then they hit you with the Mpower rewards bs... bug deal. Local coop pays real, physical cash! Cant buy hookers and blow with Mpower rewards.

I am getting Manitoba quotes tomorrow, but that doesn't help you.
Didn't the Russian fertilizer deal workout for you? Thought there were some great prices available!!

Worked out great... and it was Chinese. However we put 60 lbs down ar seeding on everything and nh3 I'd nice cause we don't need to have a 2nd truck in tge field or tie up space in the cart.
