Listing of the week - Mancozeb WG 750 and Mancozeb WG 750 -20kg

Fertiliser - The Urea price is slowly softening, with high priced stock filling suppliers sheds domestically, any significant drop in price will take some time. Market price is $910.00 per tonne (All ports). If you require Urea in September, we have the following available: Ex Geelong, Newcastle, Brisbane, Portland and Adelaide $910.00, Ex Temora $930 and Ex West Wyalong $930.00. SOA remains at $490.00 per tonne ex all ports, we have some ex Geelong at $455.00 per tonne.  Newcastle and Brisbane we can access at $485.00 per tonne. MAP and DAP prices remain steady, MAP is $1320.00 per tonne and DAP $1380 per tonne ex all ports.  MAP stock remains tight ex all ports. (All ports). Single Super is $550.00 ex Geelong, Newcastle and Portland, $565.00 per tonne ex Adelaide.

What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• Is your change rate rapid enough? Change is hard, but it's necessary in this fast-paced new Ag world we live in. We discover how one WA Farmer has made measurable changes over the last 5 years, and you just wonder where they would have been if they didn't make those changes. It's a good story.

• "Capital gains won't pay your bills forever". - This was the headline takeaway from an Ag investment forum held recently. This is why you need to subscribe and listen to the Jeff McDonald podcast. It's well worth the entry fee alone.

• Things to consider when hosting wind turbines - Are you hosting or have pressure to host wind turbines? We have a great document with all the pitfalls of hosting these things that a subscriber sent in. It's chilling what the consequences might be.

• Are you missing out on the Ag news and info you should be all over? Is that affecting your knowledge base? We have you covered at 5 am daily, and today we have over 100 snippets of info. Cracked the ton. Subscribe, and I will send it to you.

• Are you unsure where new Machinery prices are headed? We released our latest podcast featuring Joe Messina yesterday. Joe is an Aussie, turned Canadian, turned Aussie again and has an interesting back story. He is also involved in Machinery sales and gives his two cents on where Machinery prices are and are headed.

• Hay Report - See the latest edition here, hot off the keyboard.

• In our pursuit to achieve $100 billion in Farm Gate production, what if we Clayed every acre of sandy soil that needed it in the next 5 years? How would that help overall production? The net production gains from Claying are next level. We break down the costs and benefits in a story today.

• Do you love a Crop inspection/tour? One Farmer in a reply gives an extensive rundown on his Crop tour around the SA/Vic Border last Saturday. It reads like he and his mate had a ball. Oh yes, and the obligatory counter lunch was done too.

• Have a great Thursday night.
