For Grain I would know what months it trades for starters. Each commodity is different and unlike energy it does not trade every month. Know crop years(new crop/old crop). Make sure you know the approximate basis prices across the US for ag products. Contango/Backwardation. If there is hedging you may be dealing options so know how to calc delta/gamma etc...

I havent heard of a fertilizer hedge there isn't really one.
