How farmers make spring count
OPINION: Spring is a critical season for farmers – a time when the right decisions can set the tone for productivity and profitability throughout the year.
Ballance Agri-Nutrients is expanding its fixed price offer to help customers manage input costs with greater certainty over the coming season.
Following a successful pilot last year, the initiative has been broadened to include a wider product range, so more farmers and growers can benefit from fixed pricing.
From today, eligible Ballance shareholders can apply for the set price for a period of seven months starting from the 1 May.
Ballance general manager customer Jason Minkhorst says the offer helps shareholders seeking more certainty around their input costs.
“Much like fixing an interest rate for your mortgage, this offer allows farmers to lock in their fertiliser requirements at a set price, helping them mitigate risk and plan ahead,” he says.
Building on last year’s success, the range has also been expanded beyond the initial pilot products, Nrich Urea and SustaiN to include a wider range.
Minkhorst says a common customer concern is price fluctuations across the board are making it difficult to plan ahead.
“This offer gives flexibility to help manage margins for fixed prices on outputs like milk and grain,” he says.
Offer details
Shareholders can access the fixed price offer for half or all of their order for a seven-month contract period from the 1 May to the 30 November 2025.

Claims that farmers are polluters of waterways and aquifers and 'don't care' still ring out from environmental groups and individuals. The phrase 'dirty dairying' continues to surface from time to time. But as reporter Peter Burke points out, quite the opposite is the case. He says, quietly and behind the scenes, farmers are embracing new ideas and technologies to make their farms sustainable, resilient, environmentally friendly and profitable.
