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).

My husband says, that in a year such as this many farmers order lime instead of fertiliser.
The thinking being that lime unlocks the old fertiliser in the ground I think.

I wonder if this is true
