Agricultural markets are anything but predictable this season and waiting it out isn’t really an option on the farm. That’s why we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the current state of the fertilizer and agricultural markets on today’s edition of The Business of Crop Nutrition. We uncover what’s happening with: ➡️ Limited nitrogen availability and rising prices  ➡️ The global competition for phosphorus  ➡️ The affordability of potash Dig in today to explore how you can stay ahead, even in an uncertain market:

Fertilizer storage isn't just about convenience – it's a strategic move that can help growers stay ahead in an unstable market. But storing it takes more than putting it in a bin. On this episode of The Dirt, Mike Howell sits down with Nutrien Senior Agronomist Lyle Cowell to explore the do's and don'ts of fertilizer storage, from managing product blends and minimizing moisture risks to equipment and application considerations. Tune in to uncover what simple steps can make a big difference in fertilizer storability, flowability and safety: https://bit.ly/45mzuHI

Did you know that the quality of ammonium sulfate can deteriorate in warm or humid conditions? It's lower critical relative humidity (CRH) makes it susceptible to caking in humid conditions. In order to preserve the fertilizer's quality, encourage your growers to: ➡️ Store the product in cool or ambient temperatures ➡️ Use flat bottom bins over upright bins ➡️ Reduce excessive handling Learn more about ammonium sulfate storage and handling with our tips for storability: https://bit.ly/4m4y6R6 #BlendedFertilizer #Agronomy #Fertilizer

Ag In Motion was a wonderful opportunity to connect with Canadian growers and agronomists, chat about soil health and explore the latest innovations in crop nutrition and ag tech. We were proud to participate in the event as we bring our community together to celebrate all things agriculture. Join us there next year! #AIM25 #AgInMotion #FarmShow

Harvesting hay and silage can remove an enormous amount of potassium that must be replenished through a grower's fertilizer program. Learn more about the importance of helping your growers replace this vital nutrient on season 4 of The Dirt: https://bit.ly/434VWVP

The Calgary Stampede is known for its legendary rodeo and riveting chuck wagon races, but it's so much more than that.

Did you know that you can reduce your grower's risk of phosphorus loss without sacrificing their yield when you implement 4R Nutrient Stewardship practices? Practices like variable rate fertilizer applications can reduce nutrient and yield losses while driving greater crop outcomes. Explore how you can leverage 4R practices to support your growers this season: https://bit.ly/3IkICF4 #Phosphorus #Fertilizer #Agronomy

Last week, our team spent three days in Langham, Saskatchewan, at Ag In Motion connecting with farmers, industry leaders and the next generation of producers. It was an inspiring three days full of engaging discussions about the foundations of nutrient management and the future of crop production. #AIM25 #AgInMotion #CdnAg
