Farmers are finding their bank accounts are a lot lighter after ordering fertilizer for this spring. Fertilizer and seed dealer Tony Grapsas from Jay-Mar in Plover, Wisconsin tells Brownfield the stunning part of this winter is the acceleration of price changes, especially for nitrogen. “It is going up, up, up, with price changes from the manufacturer or distributors happening as often as twice a day. I’ve never seen that pace of price change.”
Grapsas says prices have been stagnant over the last three or four years, but now, he’s frequently had suppliers change prices and availabilities.
