Uncertain Fertilizer Outlook

While some fertilzer plants are cutting back due to high natural gas prices, others are restarting production. StoneX Group Director of Fertilizer Josh Linville believes government intervention may be needed to actually help offset high natural gas prices. Fertilizer prices are still very much in limbo. “If you don’t start up plants when it’s warm out, it gets very difficult in the cold winter months,” said Linville. “If the plants aren’t online in the next four-to-six months, our chances of having these plants restart anytime before next spring diminishes quite a bit.”
