Research on cash purchase and warehousing strategies is examined to provide insights into the effectiveness of forward pricing and pre-purchase strategies. Other strategies including diversification into less fertilizer intensive crops, diversification across fertilizer product forms, and shifting fertilizer applications within and across crop years are described.
