We’re currently layering in fall fertilizer for the 2026 crop year, and as we look ahead, it’s clear that the market remains full of uncertainty and volatility. From shifting tariffs to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, there are many global factors continuing to influence both fertilizer pricing and supply stability.
Each year presents its own challenges, especially when it comes to determining how much product to purchase ahead of the season. Last fall, we prepared for what we expected to be a typical anhydrous ammonia season, but unpredictable weather conditions prevented us from applying all we had planned. That created additional pressure this spring, resulting in supply and logistical constraints.
Under normal conditions, we layer in fertilizer based on historical use and customer needs. This year, however, with unpredictable demand and changing market dynamics, we’re being more conservative with how much we bring in early.
That’s where your partnership is essential. To ensure we have a product available when you need it, we’re asking you to start those conversations now. Connect with your Agronomy Account Manager to plan for fall and reserve your tons early through the NuWay-K&H Customer Portal (portal.nuway-kandh.com/).
Early planning helps us secure the right products in the right places and ultimately helps keep your season on track.
Let’s work together to prepare for a smooth and successful fall application season.
