# Fertilizer prices rise on supply chain issues

> USDA projects 2026 fertilizer costs of about $166 per acre for corn, up 5.3%, and about $57 per acre for soybeans, up 5.2%. StoneX's Josh Linville cites the Russia-Ukraine war, European production shortfalls, an uprising in Iran and a lack of Chinese exports as keeping costs high.

## Why it matters

Higher input costs squeeze grower margins while grain prices stay low, which can reduce application rates over time. Supply disruptions keep nitrogen and phosphate prices firm into the growing season.
