Chatham Ontario. | Fertilizer pricing depends where your farming in Canada, just as in the states. My dealer says phosphate comes in here mostly from southern US or Morocco. Around the great lakes, we do produce some nitrogen but import the vast majority. For years it was being sourced from Russia because they have extremely cheap natural gas and they export N accordingly. Nobody in North America would build a plant because they could undercut you on price in a heartbeat. I'm thinking I've spread some Russian potash in the past also(it was bleached white color).
My fertilizer dealer is usually loaded up with dry product by freeze up of the St Lawrence seaway. They are still receiving some N but it is all in the country now.
I'm hearing some of the western provinces are not as fortunate when it comes to sourcing this year's product.
I filled up my 28% tank last fall for low $500s (cdn) thinking at the time it was too high. Now that's cheap. | |
