Crop prices and dollar values shift with relative purchasing power
The article argues that dollar value is misleading as relative values drive farming costs and returns. It cites fertilizer prices rising from 21 to 32 per ton since 1914 and corn prices from about 60 cents to at least 1.80 per bushel, urging farmers to compare prewar and present buying power to judge fertilizer profitability.
Why Fertilizer Prices Have Advanced
An analysis notes that nitrates used for explosives and fertilizer rise with higher costs for sulfuric acid and phosphate raw materials. Submarine disruption limits sulfur supply from Spain, forcing rail transport from Louisiana and Texas. Labor, energy, and transport costs push fertilizer prices up 25 to 100 percent.
