River levels should have farmers thinking ahead about fertilizer

The President of the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association says farmers should avoid procrastinating on their fertility plans considering low water levels on the Mississippi River.

KJ Johnson tells Brownfield most of their retailers are stocked up on fall fertilizer, but if growers decide to add products at the last minute, “And it still has to be moved up the river, those are where those concerns are going to be or where the shortages, if there are shortages, are going to be.”

He says farmers should talk to their retailers sooner rather than later.
