Other products such as 24-6-12 cost up to £345/t with 22-4-14 at £325 to £330/t.
Merchants indicate there has been a marked increase in sales in recent days with first cut silage in full swing.
Twelve months ago, CAN prices were typically £175/t to £180/t, or £80/t below current prices. Compounds such as 27-4-4 and 25-5-5 were also significantly lower at £245 to £250/t.
Some merchants think prices might ease in the latter stages of June, but that will be too late for anyone putting on fertiliser for second cuts.
