Some farmers are planning to adjust nitrogen application plans because of rising input prices, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
Jim Mintert is the director of the Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture.
“Roughly four out of 10 corn producers in the survey said that they were going to reduce their nitrogen application rate in 2022 compared to what they used in 2021,” he says.
He tells Brownfield farmers are facing record fertilizer costs.
