We’ve all been asking the same question: why is fertilizer so expensive? Persistent rising costs are driving our farmers out of business, and they’re raising your grocery bills, too.

Farmers are fed up with the fertilizer industry's unchecked pricing power, and for good reason. This is an issue we've been working on for years, and this week marked an important step forward. We're proud to join major farm organizations from 18 states at FED UP, a conversation with the Chair of the @FTC, to deliver a unified message: while fertilizer companies post record profits, farmers continue to face mounting financial pressures and farm closures. It's time for greater transparency and accountability in the fertilizer industry. We appreciate the FTC for listening to farmers' concerns, and we're hopeful this conversation is the beginning of meaningful action to shine a light on pricing practices that have disadvantaged producers for far too long.

In the latest corn leafhopper update, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension entomologist David Kerns says pressure remains fairly stable, with little movement beyond South Texas. Some stressed fields are seeing 5–6 leafhoppers per plant, but aggressive treatment has helped keep infestations isolated. Most Central Texas corn has tasseled and is largely out of the susceptible stage. Key takeaway for growers: keep scouting and watch for weather systems moving north from the south, especially if you have second-crop corn. Listen to the full update: loom.ly/tplp1ys
