Fertilizer prices paid by farmers (retail prices) are reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are available on USDA’s Web site in a monthly report entitled Agricultural Prices. Currently, USDA reports only the average price paid by specific fertilizer material during the month of March. This is a change from the previous reports which were issued in April from 1995-2008 and from 1986-94 when USDA reported the average price in both April and October, and reported the average monthly price four times per year prior to 1986. USDA does report a monthly price index for (1) all fertilizer materials; (2) nitrogen; (3) phosphate and potash; and (4) mixed fertilizers, but these numbers are indexes and are not product specific.
