Fertilizer prices rise modestly amid 1990 outlook
A USDA ERS preliminary report says fertilizer costs may be up about 4 percent from last fall but spring prices could be down about 4 percent from year-earlier levels. Nitrogen prices likely rise most as domestic supplies tighten while phosphate and potash stay adequate with modest price shifts. Global nutrient use rose 3 percent last year and farm energy costs may stay near 1989 levels. Farm expenditures may climb 4.6 percent to 9.09 billion as crop plantings grow and irrigation rises.
