About Ellen

Ellen runs the Prime Ag Centre at Farm Tender. She has been involved in that side of the business for 2 years now and has been working in the Farm Tender business for 8 years. Ellen specialises in selling Fertiliser. 

Ellen will be part of an interview panel between 11:30 and 12:30. Ellen's topic will be Fertiliser.

What can we expect from the interview with Ellen?

Fertiliser prices have been a hot topic with Farmers for the last 18 months. Where are prices currently at? What can we expect prices to do in the next couple of months around planting time? 

There has been a real delay in Farmers booking Fertiliser this year. Is it going to come all at once? And if so, what will be the consequences of that? What are you hearing regarding current supply levels at ports?

I've heard that they are turning Ships back because the lack of demand. Why is this?

It was the most expensive Crop grown last year. We have seen some price relief recently with Fertiliser. Is there anything that can push prices back up in a hurry?

Transparency is not a strong attribute amongst Fertiliser Sellers. Why have you been the lone ranger in providing weekly prices publicly? Do Farmers use your prices to shop around to their usual suppliers? Do you win any customers on the back of being transparent and telling it how it is?

What are you seeing in the natural/biological/alternative space? Is it something Farmers are becoming more interested in? Is the level of uptake increasing?

I see a couple of businesses are looking at producing Urea here in Australia. Would that help with pricing and supply?
