Fertilizer .............brother from Narrogin was saying he has been quoted for fertilizer for this season - $1700 per ton.
Last season was around $700.
And that quoted price is if he books and pays a deposit now.
However, when the time comes to collect your fertilizer, it might have gone down, but your locked in at the higher price.
One year, a guy walked away from a $100,000 deposit as he could get it much cheaper from another supplier, despite losing the 100,000.

Some big time farmers in dodgy rainfall areas are talking about not even putting a crop in.
They had bumper crops the season just gone.
Why risk the likes of a million dollars on fertilizer is their thinking.

Brother does mainly oaten hay, around 30,000 small squares.
He has what's known as a Bale Baron which puts the bales into 21 bale packs. (just over 1/2 a ton).
All handling is via forks (telly handler etc).
Delivers to Perth stockfeeds (South of).

Good morning wotsup

Yes, I've heard mate

Guy down the Rd from me isn't going to fertilise his 1000 acres at all this year,

He's voting with his feet and won't be held to ransom or extortion by anyone,

I agree with him,
