Malleefarmer;

Where are your fertiliser prices down under settling out at now?

It would be really interesting to know what Brazil/S.A. prices settled out on spring planting just completed as well.

Will find out,to compare apples with apples we use MAP 11:23 or DAP 18:20 or urea 46:0:0 or SOA if these are the comparable products will get latest prices asap.
Buyers at our local silo or elevator numbered 11 for wheat in cash market 4 buyers in pool market with about 16 different options which all ends up in AWB export pool anyway plus 4 pooling products which involve the use of cbot futures for risk management basically basically profit or loss from futures trades comes off the pool price or is added to pool price but no margin calls,plus of course there is storing on farm and selling direct to endusers therefore avoiding storage and handling and frieght charges involved in dealing with awb and abb who both own all the storage facilities here in South Australia. ps awb is aust wheat board and abb is aust barley board.
barley marketing is fully deregulated in every state except south aust but we live close border of anothere state so we sell over the border when we see fit to capture better prices.
cheers
