Some farmers looking to lock in fertilizer for next year are experiencing sticker shock.
Brandon Fast, who grows corn and soybeans in southwest Minnesota, tells Brownfield he recently talked to several local ag retailers about locking in prices for 2022.
“And it was considerably higher. In some cases I’ve seen 40 percent higher, and there’s been fear it could even end up going higher than that.”
He suspects part of the reason coops are promoting pre-booking right now is to get an idea of what kind of demand to expect.
