Description
As we write this paper for the conference, fall fertilizer prices continue to increase, albeit at a slower pace than earlier this fall for most materials. The latest DTN retail price survey https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/crops/article/2021/10/06/fertilizer‐price‐gains-losing‐steam has urea (46‐0‐0) at $620/ton, DAP (18‐46‐0) at $722/ton and potash (0‐ 0‐60) at $647/ton. This gives $0.675/lb N, $0.52/lb P2O5 (after the N value in DAP price was accounted for), and $0.54/lb K2O. Compared to this time last year, urea, DAP and muriate of potash are 71, 64 and 92% higher, respectively. Other important materials used in Kentucky are also higher: ammonium polyphosphate (APP, 10‐34‐0); UAN (32‐0‐0); and anhydrous (82‐0‐0) are 40, 78 and 84% more expensive, respectively.
