Nitrogen prices

[SASKFARMER]

Just back from coffie with local fert dealer who just got back from a holiday to mexico put on and paid for by brett young seeds.
He must have gave me every excuse in the book as to why my price on nitrogen was cheaper than what he had.
Farmers the more educated you get on the system the less the system can take advantage of you.
Its a polite way of stealing just enough from you that you dont complain.

Saskfarmer, I have to agree with you on the FNA being a good thing and helping the farmer out. But at the same time many farmers do not have storage for dry fert and also do not have the cash flow. Being a farmer and also working at a local input supplier I see what is going on and I will be the first to agree with you that these fert and chem companies are a bunch of crooks. However, I do not make any excuses to my customers for the prices, and I would be happy to tell them to go to FNA to buy there fertilizer and clearout if possible. All that I am saying is that often retailers get blamed for the prices of inputs and really we are not the ones making the big profits. We are however making some money, which is more that I can say for my farm. So when I see FNA doing this ground work I am a very happy camper. Also I have 46-0-0 for sale at $435 for spring pickup.

one comment that I hope all retailers get back to the chemical and fert companys if the farmer is gone, then we are next so lets all get this right or it will be crushed and we are getting close to that point this spring.
WE are not the USA or EEU we are canada a land of talk and wages to support staff but little in payments to actuall farmers. US and EEU method is farmer first the infastructure will develop after that.
