Fertilizer analysts believe the price outlook for 2026 will most likely be steady, barring various geopolitical issues clouding the prediction. BGlobal Fertilizer Outlook - 3 No. 5 on DTN's list of the Top 10 Ag Stories of the Year focuses on how, with a waning La Nina and largely neutral conditions for the spring and summer, an active weather pattern brought better-than-expected weather for most of the country in 2025. 1^Top 10 Ag Stories of 2025: No. 4 No. 5 on DTN's list of the Top 10 Ag Stories of the Year focuses on the historical low cattle inventory. The smaller supply has been met with high demand for beef which has seen historically high prices. FTop 10 Ag Stories of 2025: No. 5 Blogger Jennifer Campbell says giving and donations can take many forms beyond financial contributions. Donating time, energy, space or highlighting the value of genuine generosity and being present for others can be incalculable gifts. :^Our Rural Roots For the second week in a row, retail fertilizer prices are now mostly lower for the third week of December 2025. Six of the eight major fertilizers were lower in price compared to last month while the remaining two were slightly more expensive. Three fertilizers had a significant price move, which DTN designates as anything 5% or more. BDTN Retail Fertilizer Trends
