Farmers walk a fine line between cutting costs and sustaining yields

Many farmers are analyzing their crop fertility programs while preparing for 2026.

Mosaic agronomist Kip Jacobs says low commodity prices and high input costs create a challenging financial situation.

“With the current farm economy forecast looking steady at best, we’re going to continue to need to optimize each acre of land to meet the desires not only of the consumer but to be able to make as much money as possible to be able to farm next year.”

He tells Brownfield it’s human nature for farmers to consider cutting back when fertilizer prices escalate.

“Right now yields continue to be high, so we’re going to want to continue to feed that crop what it needs and replenish that soil in a sustainable fashion for years to come.”

Jacobs says Mosaic offers tools that are simple, reliable, and profitable.
