> A Farm Futures survey found retail fertilizer prices in Illinois fell nearly 16% between June 2 and August 11 as producers responded to high prices and stockpiles grew. Potash flows from Russia and Belarus are expected to stay constrained by sanctions, and China is not expected to lift its phosphate and urea export restrictions in 2022.
