Lower fertilizer prices due to the beautiful weather

A lot of manure is currently being spread on lawns as a result of the backlog of the wet weather a few weeks ago. This partly hinders the possibilities of spreading manure on arable land, because contractors no longer have equipment available. On the other hand, the arable land is barely dry enough to spread manure on, but every dry day changes the picture every day.

The weather is decisive
The weather will determine the increase in activities on land in the coming week. The key question for the intermediary is how much manure is available at the livestock farmer: will that cause pressure or not? So far that seems to be working.

Livestock farmers wisely seem to keep their mouths shut about the amount of manure they have in their manure pits. They are also silent about the amount of manure that has to be removed this season. Under the skin, the consequences of the phosphate reduction plan for the agricultural landscape also play a role. It is expected that there will be more equilibrium in the market in the north of the country, but that there is no question of a possible equilibrium in the southern regions.

The good weather has contributed to the fact that the collection contributions of both the fattening pig slurry and the cattle slurry have decreased this week. As a result, the fertilizer market is developing in line with expectations.
