Chinese gov't has effectively banned #phosphate exports thru June '22 China accounts for almost 30% of world trade. This is bad for global phosphate prices and even worse for those highly dependent on those tons (i.e. Australia) Watch for #urea similar action #blackswanevent

If you’re not irrigating yet, may be time to start? Research has shown that when ryegrass reaches the point of water stress, it will yield 40-50% less over the proceeding 6-8weeks regardless of how much water you pour on.
