OMAHA (DTN) -- Retail fertilizer prices tracked by DTN for the week of the last few days of June and first few days of July 2026 were mostly lower compared to a month earlier. Mostly lower prices have now been present for a full month, according to DTN price data.

For the third consecutive week, six of the eight major retail fertilizers were lower compared to last month while the remaining two were slightly higher. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

Four of the six fertilizers with lower prices had significant price declines. Leading all nutrients lower was urea, which was 12% less expensive with an average price of $718/ton. UAN32 was 9% lower compared to last month at an average price of $533/ton, anhydrous was 7% less expensive at an average price of $1,036/ton, and UAN28 was 6% lower at an average price of $504/ton.

The remaining two fertilizers with lower prices were just slightly less expensive compared to a month ago. MAP had an average price of $953/ton and 10-34-0 had an average price of $725/ton.

Two fertilizers were slightly more expensive compared to last month. DAP had an average price of $910/ton and potash had an average price of $494/ton.

On a price-per-pound-of-nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.78/lb.N, anhydrous was $0.63/lb.N, UAN28 was $0.90/lb.N and UAN32 was $0.83/lb.N.

DTN's Jake Zajkowski reported last week that USDA announced a new $500 million investment in fertilizer infrastructure designed to expand domestic fertilizer production. The press conference introduced the new Fertilizer Investment and Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) plan while also covering previously announced agency action. In addition, USDA redirected Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds to this new plan. You can read the full story here: https://www.dtnpf.com/…

"We want fertilizer produced in America, and we want fertilizer delivered in America to American farmers," said USDA Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.

Also last week, Josh Linville, vice president of fertilizers for StoneX, said in his Media Notes that he had mixed feelings about President Trump announcing a suspension of import tariffs on Moroccan phosphate fertilizer. You can read more here: https://www.dtnpf.com/…

Looking back one year, all eight fertilizers are now higher in price compared to a year earlier. Potash is 3% higher, UAN32 is 6% more expensive, 10-34-0 is 8% higher, urea is 9% more expensive, DAP is 12% higher, MAP is 13% more expensive, UAN28 is 20% higher and anhydrous is 35% more expensive compared to one year ago.

DTN gathers fertilizer price bids from agriculture retailers each week to compile the DTN Fertilizer Index. DTN first began reporting data in November 2008.
