OMAHA (DTN) -- DTN retail fertilizer prices for the first week of February 2026 are evenly mixed.

Four fertilizers were slightly lower in price compared to last month while the other four were slightly higher. DTN designates a significant move as anything 5% or more.

One fertilizer with a sizeable price increase was urea. The nitrogen fertilizer was 5% higher compared to last month with an average price of $596/ton.

The other higher-priced nutrients were DAP with an average price of $851/ton, MAP $879/ton and potash $488/ton.

The four fertilizers with slightly lower prices were 10-34-0 with an average price of $665/ton, anhydrous $860/ton, UAN28 $410/ton and UAN32 $464/ton.

On a price per pound of nitrogen basis, the average urea price was $0.65/lb.N, anhydrous $0.52/lb.N, UAN28 $0.73/lb.N and UAN32 $0.73/lb.N.

DTN Ag Policy Editor Chris Clayton reported Tuesday that two corn producer organizations have sent letters to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain what the Justice Department is doing to pursue possible antitrust action in the fertilizer industry.

The president of the Texas Corn Producers Association (TCPA) wrote Bondi requesting a formal status report about a Justice Department investigation into fertilizer prices and market concentration. This letter follows a letter written last week by the president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association asking similar questions.

The letters reflect the growing frustration over the financial situation facing crop producers, who continue to see high input prices. Fertilizer costs make up a high percentage of crop producers' total input costs.

"As farmers work to maintain a stable, high-quality supply of food and feed for the nation, they are being pushed to the breaking point by unsustainable input costs," TCPA stated.

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