EP 227: Countervailing Duties, Fertilizer Markets, & Snow Stories

What’s happening in the fertilizer markets? Returning and special guest, Scott Sharp joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As you may remember, Scott is the Senior Vice President for Premier Companies and is very involved in the purchasing and sourcing of Premier’s fertilizer.

Jeff, Sal, and Scott will give us an update on the dynamics of the fertilizer industry as a whole and how the digital age has dramatically changed the market’s responses to global events like wars and tariffs. You’ll also learn how countervailing duties impact the agriculture industry in a lasting way and what those do to the cost and availability of fertilizers. Scott will also share how forecasting fertilizer usage has become increasingly difficult and why intel from the growers is so important. “We try to have what they need when they need it and we don’t wanna carry over a bunch of inventory because that hurts our member owners as well when we have added costs that we didn’t need. There’s a lot that goes into it.”
