Fertilizer Price Tracker

US have been landing huge quantities of LNG into some EU countries over the summer, they would happily have looked after us........ franked gas thought, but sure thankfully our current gas comes in a pipeline from somewhere...
 
Paid €1000 for one pallet of small bag UREA 46%. Hard to get in small bags so just went for it. Holding tough for the rest which will be in big bags

You’d wonder the way everything is gone why they haven’t banned 50kg bags. Like the cement.

Isn't it illegal for one person to lift more than 40kg on their own, or something like that, wasn't that why the tractor weights went back to 40kg or am I imagining it

25kg.

There is a big warning label on the bags alright, a two man job really. It's grand until the pallet gets down to the last 10 or so bags

Done my back in about 25 years ago lifting bags off the ground into a Vicon wagtail top-dressing winter barely one damp Saturday afternoon, had one half-lifted and I lost my grip on the slippy bag, went to grab it again as it dropped and something went in my back. Was never right since.

That would do it. Mine went 8 years ago when I bent down to unite the laces on my boots after hurling training one night, straw that broke the camel's back. Unreal pain for about three weeks after

70 was a big age with those lads

Lots of them lived into their 80s and an odd 90.

It strikes me that the 20s 30 and 40 age group now , is going to have a huge lot of early casualties . Some are twice the weight that they should be . Too much energy going in , and none going out .

The physical work that those old boys did burnt off the fatty bacon , that they so loved .
