Quoted $35 per metric tonne higher on 28-0-0 for this years summer fill program than last years summer fill price, and price will be going up 5$ per month going forward. When I ask why the increase JRI told me commodity prices were up!!! I will wait a bit because I agree fertilizer sales will be down in Western Canada because of drought. I am not saying fertilizer will get cheaper because of drought I'm just hoping price increases may be slower.

I guess grain prices go up so do they?
You said it...

W-m I am not sure where you are located but if this drought does not let up there will be a steep reduction in the amount of fertilizer purchased or used in Western Canada for next year.
How about wet conditions in the US? Will there be nutrient loss and an associated increase in rates for next year?

The minor increases you guys are citing actually doesn't seem to bad, provided you got a good buy last year. If I could buy my fertilizer for $20/tonne more than last year I would be tempted to do so.:wink:

I was just told it was because our dollar is down compared to last year at this time. Love hearing the dollar excuse. Dollar goes up canola goes down, Dollar goes down canola goes down. LoL. Was told prices will be about $80-85 higher for 28 this fall than they were last year. Gotta love being a farmer!!

pricing out liquid (28-0-0) for 2016 and its gone up 20 bucks a tonne?
really I thought it come down.

what a joke.
end rant.
Booked my anticipated need for 2016 early last week. $15 higher than a year ago for 28 which turned out to be the market bottom. Seems rediculous, but still a decent price. Paid more twice in the last 5 yrs.

so.:wink:
Might not have too much of an effect as one advantage of our winter in Canada is the stability it provides for nitrogen in soil. From my understanding many southern states lose a lot of the nitrogen in the soil over winter anyway.

Filled the tanks last week. $5/t. less then last year, so basically the same.
Other retailers I talked to all said their price had gone up $15/t. last week after I bought.
I expect the 28-0-0 lows are already behind us for 2016.
