Hormuz continues to pressure input costs higher. Every $50/ton increase in anhydrous adds $0.12/bu to your corn breakeven. Spring application window is open — lock remaining N tons this week. At current margins ($0.60/bu corn, $2.10/bu soy), you're profitable but corn margin is getting tight. Soy margin remains healthy.

Planting is underway but running slightly behind the 5-year average nationally. Topsoil moisture in Minnesota improved after weekend rain but remains 17% below the 5-year average. Planting pace over the next two weeks will determine whether the market adds a weather premium. The April 14 Crop Progress report will be the first significant data point — if planting falls further behind, expect corn to test $4.60+.
