WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD News) — Fertilizer prices continued to move lower during the first week of July after weeks of volatility, according to DTN.
The biggest declines were reported in UAN fertilizers, followed by urea and anhydrous ammonia. While prices have eased in recent weeks, every major fertilizer remains above year-ago levels, reminding producers that input costs are still elevated.
USDA is also moving to expand domestic fertilizer production through a new $500 million infrastructure investment.
