A fertilizer specialist is hopeful farmers will be able to reevaluate plans after spring planting.
Jason Troendle with the Fertilizer Institute says it wasn’t until last year fertilizer prices started to really take off when what he calls a perfect storm of disasters took place, “Energy prices here, in terms of natural gas, have doubled since March, you have trade disruptions, you’ve had some huge winter storms back in February, you had Hurricane Ida that came through and hit the area that produces about 60 percent of the U.S.’s ammonia,” he explains.
