Faith Parum’s post on fertilizer availability and rising input costs during the 2026 planting season

The post summarizes an American Farm Bureau Federation survey with more than 5,700 responses from all 50 states and Puerto Rico during the 2026 planting season. It states that nearly 70% of farmers cannot afford all the fertilizer they need and that 94% report their financial condition is the same or worse than last year, amid higher fertilizer and diesel costs and global supply uncertainty.
