Iowa farmers lift fertilizer use as corn acreage rises
Farmers applied 3.1 million metric tons of nitrogen fertilizer in Iowa from July to December 2024, up from 2.3 million in January through June, as corn acreage grows. ISU researchers note efficiency is improving with higher yields requiring more nutrient input but less per bushel, while prices and weather drive variability in optimal rates and runoff concerns.
