Fall Fertilizer Outlook: Potash Stands Strong While Phosphate Raises Concerns

As the season for fall fertilizer application approaches, Josh Linville from StoneX emphasizes the stable value of potash in comparison to grain values. However, he expresses concerns about phosphate pricing, with significant regional variations. While some retailers offer phosphate at a lower cost, others may face unexpected high prices. In the nitrogen market, anhydrous is predicted to see major demand this fall due to its favorable pricing relative to other options and historical benchmarks. Linville advises farmers to initiate discussions with retailers and distributors early, emphasizing the importance of securing supplies in relation to current grain prices.
