Fertilizer thoughts

[helmsdale]

Booked 610 esn, 575 11-52.

Pickup jan/feb

Local retailer is now quoting a price with a $4/Mt "blending" charge... gotta get that ROI somehow.

Paid $515 for 46.0.0 yesterday with dealer storing until spring. $85 down on the year.

I thought that is what 3 and 4 tank carts are for..blending....so you can buy straight product....

As long as the dealer doesn’t go bankrupt or commits fraud and stashes everyone’s prepay money in a secret hiding place while walking away from the company. BTDT (didn’t even get a T-shirt, only lots of paperwork to fill and probably a few pennies whenever the lawyers are done with it)

Currently have all fertilizer delivered and not paid for. Told the outfits to stop by for cheque’s but none seem in a hurry.

P.S. Bins are cheaper than you might think. Paid $470 for delivered urea here. Bins for urea cost us $180/T so four years (4yrs X $45/T) and they’re paid for. Plus I can load anytime and no lineups at the nearest batch plant 50 km away to deal with.

Fair warning Woodland but I use so little that it's not a big risk to my business and I have no interest in investing in storage.

My wore out $500 augers (and that’s before they get demoted to fert detail)?? Not much and less than my time is worth in May to pick it up in town.
