Decided this week's YouTube video would focus a bit on Canada, given the rail strike situation that continues to play out. No, I haven't been able to bring myself to say "make sure to smash that subscribe button" during the video!!!! Link below youtu.be/K86IOvyb0nk

For everyone that might hear my background included tobacco and how hard it was, all of this crop on the video was cut by hand. Stalk by stalk. Cut and speared onto a stick. Then will be hung in a barn by hand to dry. Hard work but some of my best memories.

I'm starting work on the September farmer fertilizer newsletter today and honestly, this is the hardest one I have had to write. I know it is bad out there. I'm going to do my best to talk about the markets without pissing everyone off...

For those holding out on their fall NH3 purchases because they think it will fall...September Tampa price just concluded at $55 higher than August. For reference, August was $60 higher than July. Global market remains hot...and manufacturers know it.

My wife just sent me this pic of a blackberry from around our house. I do not do anything to them. Follow me for more hands off gardening tips!!!

And to think, I was THIS close to posting something about corn sweat earlier today. Thank goodness I was busy!!!

VERY quiet urea markets as the world hold's its breath for the 1st round of India purchase tender news. There are a lot of supply issues that worry me longer term (China) but short term, demand doesn't want to participate (rightfully so). So we wait.

Do I get a prize for writing "do not shoot the messenger" more than 6 times for this month's newsletters?

Only people older than being born today would understand.

All the farmer fertilizer newsletters and videos are done. I am just waiting on compliance to approve it. Planning a tomorrow send out. I'm pretty proud of this one. Wish the message was better but content is solid. If interested: subscribe.stonex.com/farmer-fertili…

Unfortunately for those wanting more competition in the N.A. nitrogen fertilizer space, regulators have allowed Koch to purchase the Weaver, IA plant. The big 3 now own U.S. production capacity: NH3 - 73.6% Urea - 84.3% UAN - 81.8% apnews.com/press-release/…

I have hit send on the September farmer fertilizer focus newsletter and video e-mails. Should show up to your inbox as 2 separate e-mails. August was a slow month but there were a few things to cover. More important was some of the outlooks: Global trends Poor grain price

We are doing an input and fertilizer outlook webinar with Josh Linville Thursday September 5th at 11 am eastern Register here to attend: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we sit down with Josh Linville from StoneX to dive deep into the current fertilizer market and what it means for farmers this fall. #Farm4Profit #Agriculture #FertilizerMarket #FarmEconomics #JoshLinville #StoneX #FarmingPodcast

India #urea purchase tender offer details are out. Lot of tons offered. Relatively close price range. India has countered ALL offers. Could be a big tonnage purchased...but we never know until awards totals are confirmed. More to come.

Josh Linville of StoneX Group Inc. breaks down why the NH3 market is higher than expected this fall. Get insights on what it means for the 2024 harvest and application season. 🌾 #Farm4Profit #FertilizerMarket #FarmEconomics #AgOutlook #FarmingPodcast #CropInputs #CommodityPrices

Josh Linville of StoneX Group Inc. shares his top tip: Instead of just watching the price, keep an eye on the fertilizer price-to-commodity price ratio. It's a smarter way to gauge value and maximize your investment. 🌾💡 #Farm4Profit #AgBusiness #FertilizerStrategy

Updated #corn yield survey results from StoneX. Sept 182.9 vs Aug at 182.3 Please keep in mind, these are built using compiled information from folks who spend their days in the fields. They are not perfect but historically decently accurate (and in line with other estimates).

Sounds like #India is going to lock up near 1.2M tons of #urea (not a done deal yet). Global urea market appears pleased as values have trended higher. Big tonnage purchase cleans up length. Supply tightness story looks to emerge sooner than we expected...
