fertilizer to conservative's questions

[Sodbuster]

Hoping to get a price on Nh3 before year end, but not holding my breath on this one. Last time we had a year like this those that did not prebuy ended up without juice that year,don’t remember what year that was, but before 2009.

Was told the $1350 area for stored till spring for urea. A little better if taken in January. Will wait and see how high it can go

Been doing Ammonia since 1981 have never been short of Juice.

NEVER!

Tom did you fall on your head again.

You ****ed up the end of the CWB without doing studies that would have shown that we need reporting by grain companies of all sales out of Canada. plus destination and price.

Now you are betting on Trudeau and his plan for the environment.

Are you a closet Liberal or what?

It's time for farmers to fight not to agree with skippy. There is no climate change just a ****ing stupid politician with votes from Urban Toronto that wouldn't last 5 min if the gas and electricity were turned off. These same fools are going to decide your future and mine. Canada will be the only country without Oil Ag or anything else till it's taken over and we're all gone.

Wake up.

Guys with 35 bu durum avg or better @ $18 bu, who is going to sink much into the ground?
Can crap insurance actually come back and ask for fert records and deny a claim??

BTO - This is how its been explained to me.
Crop insurance will assess your claim and compare it to others in your area.
If your yield is significantly lower than other yields in your area, and the cause is not obvious (flooding, hail, wind etc) then crop insurance can and might start asking questions about your agronomic practices, rotation and so on.
If they decide that your management practices are responsible or partially responsible for your yield shortfall, then that's not considered an insurable loss.
Seems like lots of gray area. No different than dealing with any other type of insurance, I suppose.
Anyone have experience with claims being denied for non-insurable reasons?

Interesting story from a neighbour yesterday. He was talking to a buddy from around Drumheller. He had soil tests done and they showed about 15 lbs. of N. he seeds with a seedmaster with 12 inch row spacing and the tests were taken between the rows. He thought that seemed low so he collected samples himself within 2 inches of the seed row. These showed 110 lbs. of N. Ground is so dry it is not frozen, he can dig down and still find fertilizer granules. His wheat went 12-14 bpa. this year, his peas 20 and his canola was less than 5. Planning to cut his fertilizer dramatically. Certainly an unusual year.

FYI, Tom did more than his share fighting the CWB monopoly. It wasn't up to him to promote sales reporting which by the way hadn't existed in non board commodities.

But with regards to fertilizer, why not reporting for fertilizer production/sales/export and import numbers? The fertilizer industry could stand some more scrutiny.

Maybe take a lesson from maple syrup producers.
Strategic National Reserve to be released when there are threats to national food production due to unforseen circumstances.
Fertilizer storage funded by the government.

What could go wrong?

We are blessed to have Crop Management Network in our region... connected to Quebec ... independent owners who have built some new additional dry fert storage over he past few years. They have helped balance things out...Power rich delivered our starter fert last week... something like they had done almost as much volume for 2022 now... as compared to all of last year 2021 sales...

Have many dealt with 'Farmer's Business Network Canada, Inc.' for Generic Glyphos etc.crop protection inputs? Offshoot of original Goudies Glyphos group... now North American wide? For us the distribution point is the EDM International Airport... March delivery...was 13.50/L

Interesting times! Cheers

540 was $12.40 per litre this morning. Ended up buying one more tote to be on the safe side. So one 1000 Litre tote was $12,400 delivered. Compared to what I bought on sale last spring at $11064.00 delivered for 2 x 1000 litre totes of the same 540 product. So from $5.532 to $11.40 per litre, over 200 % higher. Have quite a bit of old product so we are not too bad. I am told price is going up again by the end of the week.

I prefer seeding between the rows here over right on the row. It may have something to do with the fact our precipitation comes in the form of snow. Plus the having the seed on the darkest part of the field when spring frosts occur.

I set my nudge to 3 inches and centre it when i start a new pass. It works most of the time.
