> The American Farm Bureau Federation outlines rising fertilizer costs and tighter farm margins heading into 2025-26. Gulf DAP rose about 36% from January to August 2025, to nearly $800 per ton, and MAP is following a similar climb. Potash is rising on trade policy risks, while nitrogen prices are swinging month to month.

## Why it matters
