# High fertilizer prices could influence 2027 corn and soybean acreage decisions

> Agricultural economist David Widmar says record-high fertilizer prices are expected to persist into the 2027 crop year. DAP and MAP prices are about 10% higher than in the spring, and 2027 is expected to be the third most expensive corn fertilizer year on record. Corn costs about $103 per acre more than soybean costs.

## Why it matters

Higher phosphate and nitrogen costs make corn more expensive to grow than soybeans, which could shift 2027 acreage toward soybeans and tighten corn supply expectations. Sustained input costs also support DAP prices.
