India has shocked the global #urea world by cutting their purchase in half, down from 724KMT to a now 340KMT. World is left scrambling and shows why it is so important to wait for the final results before building a market POV.

Everyone in the #fertilizer world, high prices are not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is countries shutting down normal shipping patterns. That creates panic/emotion. That creates even higher prices as the market freaks out. That said, prices look firm.

Just in case you thought the Chinese #fertilizer story was a ploy. I've said it before and I'll continue saying it: this isn't like 2008...it's scarier.

I'm seeing a lot of people talking about wanting to buy their fall '22/spring '23 fertilizer already. Remember, there are 8 months until November and a full year until next March. A LOT can happen between now and then. Make those decisions logically, not emotionally.

According to @ArlanFF101 , the single biggest U.S. percentage corn planting gain in a week is 43% (2013). To put that in perspective USDA 2022 corn acreage estimate - 89.5M acres - 43% would be 38.5M acres being planted in 7 days - 5.5M acres each day - 230K/hour - 3,817/minute

Last time #corn was this low was October 2021 (correct me if wrong). On the bright side, NOLA values were: #urea @ $690 (vs $360 today) #UAN @ $490 (vs $240 today) #DAP @ $680 (vs $580 today) #Potash @ $680 (vs $320 today) Today still sucks, but it worse worse back then.

On June 12th, NOLA urea traded $245 On July 28th, NOLA urea traded $445 Today, NOLA urea traded $350 That's $295 worth of price volatility in just under 2 months. Lot of inland markets never reflected anything close to the high. Fertilizer is hard...

Well, someday I'll buy some acreage and farm. Today just isn't that day. Was willing to spend a little more than we were comfortable with but wasn't enough. Given what it takes to break even at the price, it wasn't worth the risk of having to "pay" almost yearly to own it.

KC #wheat folks: Using current NOLA #urea and July '23 wheat prices, the current ratio stands at 37 bushels/ton of urea. THIS IS THE BEST RATIO SEEN SINCE 2018 AND ONE OF THE TOP 3 SINCE 2010. Urea can go lower. Wheat can go higher. This is a damn good layer.

Look at #urea : - Higher chance of losing Russia's 7M export tons - Higher chance Europe loses natural gas flows from Russia - N.A. significantly cheaper than UAN and NH3 - Grain prices continue to rally daily I'm not saying urea is going to the moon, but I would watch close.

This map is hard to read but it shows global fert trade flows. If you ever think that #fertilizer is not a world market, look at this map. What happens in China matters to a farmer in Kansas. What happens in Europe matters to farmers in Australia. Keep your head on a pivot.

For those in media just now starting to report on #fertilizer . This is a situation farmers have been battling thru since the summer of 2020. Russia/Ukraine certainly makes it worse but here is a list of some of the things getting us to today's values...
