With rising fertilizer prices, many farmers wonder if they can cut back on their phosphorus and potash fertilizer applications. The short answer is yes if their soil test levels are near recommended levels, according to the University of Missouri state nutrient management specialist.
The EPA granted a fifth consecutive summer waiver allowing E15 ethanol sales to continue in 2026, while the industry pushes Congress for permanent year-round approval.
Prices for six of the eight major fertilizers were higher for the third week of March 2026 compared to a month ago. Four fertilizers were significantly more expensive, which DTN designates as anything 5% or more. One fertilizer was slightly lower, and one was unchanged from the previous month.
