Market Fertilizer Costs Rise Hit Greenville Farmers
The Greenville News reports fertilizer prices increasing sharply with fertilizer tonnage up 83 and acids up 2, while cotton seed meal sells at 24 per ton, up 1. This surge raises farm costs even as cotton seed prices fall to 12. Farmers are urged to hold seed, since seed is valuable as fertilizer. An observer notes cotton yields per acre rose before oil mills spread, proving seed is crucial for soil health. Oil mills may buy seed around Christmas, prompting farmers to hold back for cash.
