Just checked here , same price as last year,,,,grain prices down though. The struggle here in Canada is that natural gas price is about two thirds carbon tax. Don’t blame producers, blame our liberal government.
Interest rates are almost double now compared to then, the income dollars are not there unless people or funds jump out of stock market and jump into the commodities
Many farmers should be heavily into planting cover crops beans turnips, kales ,dicon radishes .all those can reduce costs of fertilizers, nnd chemical induction. It works well.
...you're a damn fool if you think planting cover crops is going to replace adding additional potassium and phosphorous. They "sequester" nutrients....they don't replace or regenerate them. So you spend $25/acre on a seeding of cover crops...and still need the fertilizer to replace what you hauled away in your corn and soybeans...plus, you lose potassium and phosphorous every day to movement down through the soil solution....In effect, you'll go broke faster planting cover crops than if you didn't.
Than they will starve. They cannot produce enough food for themselves. I am not being antagonistic but just being informative. They have developed most of their farmland to make the world’s consumable products.
The problem with the commercial style farms that produce 85% of our food base is they run on tight margins that dont allow for natural rotations of legumes ect and intermitent years of production without going bankrupt.
@ I live in ag country and there are no factory style farms. They are big but are still family owned. They take better care of the soil than anyone I know because poor soil leads to poor results.
9:00....proving that the high 2021 nitrogen prices were due to the high corn price and not logistics.
The greed is still huge up here in Canada! Crop prices are at 2010 levels ! Society has to decide where they want their food grown!
Tariffs were never taken off . Tell the truth.
Sure not seeing in western Canada nitrogen fertilizer prices down 2/3 of what they were.

Fertilizer needs to be free of toxins such as PFAS's. Does anyone test fertilizers for toxins?
@@FLPhotoCatcher labs like Midwest testing labs in Omaha Nebraska can test for all metals. Especially in dry and liquid phosphate sources
@@FLPhotoCatcher PFAS and PFOS. sources would be tested at Eurofinns labs in Colorado
will suffer with less crop as opposed to spending ridiculous input costs,
Fertilizer prices have to fall big time, farmers are going broke.
Could that be the plan?
Interest rates are almost double now compared to then, the income dollars are not there unless people or funds jump out of stock market and jump into the commodities
farm input costs are going to have to come down or grainn go up or farmers are going to go broke plain and simple
With what money we had 200 acres of corn we got 4k bushels thats it just as bad on beans with 100 acres and we only got 2500 bushels

I tend to agree with Josh
Stop using chemicals
Chems are fast and easy.
Quit your whining - SNX30 fertilizer supplement has your back.
What if China stops buying any grain from America because of new tariffs .
Than they will starve. They cannot produce enough food for themselves. I am not being antagonistic but just being informative. They have developed most of their farmland to make the world’s consumable products.
We are at war with China, shouldn't be feeding them anyway
What if?
@ Then the farmers that supported trump and his tariffs will be crying for the rest of us to bail them out.
Why use it? You can grow crops without it. Fix the soil issues instead of killing it.
Are you kidding me, Sri Lanka tried that and it lead to an 80% price hike in food and riots and the president abdicating the throne.
