Lots of talk about high fert prices, but what are the key factors to watch that may signal prices are about to fall?
It’s been another difficult couple of months for farmers trying to procure fertilisers, with global benchmarks continuing to increase rapidly. @WLefroy4 & @Kalischgordon examine some of the lead indicators that may signal material declines in the #fertiliser price ahead @agchatoz

The #urea used in #Adblue is a slightly different product to urea fertiliser. A shortage of high purity urea (adblue) doesn't necessarily mean a shortage of urea fert. Origins are also different. My views via @grheard: https://t.co/9ckacBPDZW

I found this moment breathtaking, what takes my breath away more though, is that there are 310ha of unharvested chickpeas under that water.

I'm seeing some pretty difficult content on twitter ATM. Big crop losses/downgrades across the east coast due to hail & rain. Lots of hatred in regards to mandatory vaccines. I could go on. Look after yourself and your mates ♥️

Uncharted waters: AUD adjusted Global Urea Prices broke the 2008 level last week, thanks to rising gas prices and Chinese export cuts. Still below 2008 in USD terms though.

A good start if you’re looking to better understand carbon farming in an Aussie grains context 👇
Aussie growers are some of the best in the world at producing a low emissions grain crop. The Carbon and Cropping report covers some of the figures that back this up. Download the report https://t.co/kSa9RlD4Pa

Two structural changes in the coming decade will impact #canola prices. The first is Canadian crush capacity being built to meet growing north American biofuel demand, and second is the EU phasing out #palm oil. Check out the article here -> https://t.co/k11UGA465W

Our summer supply of #glyphosate has been put in jeopardy in recent weeks. In our latest podcast, I caught up with Lief Chiang, based in China, and Sam Taylor, based in the US, to discuss what has happened, and what this means for global supplies.

Chinese electricity shortages, environmental regulations and fertiliser export restrictions are cause for concern for fertiliser and glyphosate supply next season. I caught up with @MattBrannRURAL on @abclandline to discuss: https://t.co/WQg2VNpP48

Does it get any better than this for Ag land prices? Late last week we released our new 5 year outlook for Ag Land prices. This year we took a deep dive into the relationship between price and rainfall. Some highlights here; https://t.co/mGTN4hqnIU
