Show Notes

Recorded live at Ag In Motion, Jason Newton returns to revisit the market outlook he shared earlier this year and uncover what could shape crop and fertilizer prices heading into fall.

Joining Amy Crozier, Jason breaks down the factors driving today's market conditions, from weather and tightening crop supply-and-demand balances to energy prices, geopolitics and global crop production. He also explores current market conditions across nitrogen, phosphate, sulfur and potash markets and what changing prices and supplies could mean for growers.

Tune in to hear what Jason is watching as we head into fall, including the potential yield impact of reduced nutrient applications, and how evolving market conditions could influence the rest of the season.
