Michigan farmers and ag groups are pressing the state legislature to address record fertilizer prices through the passage of resolutions.
Eaton County corn and soybean grower Gary Parr, during a Michigan House Ag Committee hearing Wednesday, said management and acreage shifts have only gone so far to mitigate rising costs.
“Our potash is 184 percent increased, our phosphorus has increased 151 percent, and our nitrogen has increased 182 percent versus 2021,” he explains.
