This is with mixed results being reported – mostly less than last year, but ahead of expectations after a torrid spring where persistent rain had many wondering if there would be any crop worthy of note.

On a wider fertiliser note, at the time of writing, the wind is behind the nitrogen price, with CF now sold out until November and not offering prices beyond that yet.
