    It’s gouging when all of a sudden , a week after the majority of seeding done there is magically a surplus and they are “discounting” by $300 a tn this past week. That’s right from a retailer that was told to try to sell asap because storage was becoming an issue for the manufacturer. That’s on 28-0-0
    Yet just 15 days ago sky was the limit cause “supply” shortage excuse.
    Sorry , there is no way that happens that fast
    That’s simply gouging .
    Forage your right long term , fall nearly always cheaper . But this was a created shortage to gouge because of high grain prices . The real story coming out now .
    The same will happen in herbicides
    High grain prices mean nothing when the crop barely out of the ground let alone not even in yet or for some so dry it can’t even germinate.
    Others are very late and will need a miracle this fall .
    And yes high prices cure high prices , sad part is we were all gouged to pay high prices to put this crop in on nearly every level with zero guarantee of even getting a crop .
    This one will hurt far worse than last year if crops are similar to last year because it’s the same areas in trouble .
    Other areas that had 1/2 a crop or better are somewhat late but have a chance will big soil moisture reserves. I will take a 70 bus #3 or feed over a 5- 10 bus wheat crop all day .

      Federated the beast is gouging. Any of these local coops are told what to price it at. Federated floats them on the deal they use exclusively coop fuel. Local coop built a pile of gas bars around the city and there was no way they could pull it off themselves. Federated financed them, and didn’t force them to actually buy the fuel and risk losing on price swings. All provided they didn’t buy from other refineries. Don’t blame your local coops because a lot of them would’ve been on the rocks if it wasn’t for this but solvency comes at the price of freedom.

          According to the flyer the taps are 20-25% off, I don't even see juice advertised.

                We have had decent luck waiting till mid October
                Generally get it not far off super summer price and then we know what kind of crop we had and nutrients used . They always whine a bit but thank goodness for some competition around here

                  Dont buy too soon. Some BTO might come whispering in your ear after harvest.

                    Inflation will soon become a distant memory for many asset classes. Gouging days are over . . . .

                      Post your fert quotes, it helps everyone. $815 is cheapest I have seen for urea, a week ago, but others have posted $700ish range.
