      Here is a report from NPR: The United States is currently the world’s top natural gas producer, which supports a robust domestic fertilizer industry. Still, U.S. companies import about 18% of the nitrogen fertilizer sold in this country, drawing heavily on imports to cover the spring planting surge. (https://www.npr.org/2026/03/26/g-s1-115240/iran-war-strait-hormuz-fertilizer-exports-farmers-planting-season). Also, natural gas prices in the US and around the world have gone up since the US and Israel attacked Iran.

      Well we used to get from Canada but apparently the other side of the largest ocean in the world from a nation that hates us makes more sense.

      Guys, you might call me crazy, but…

      I think we’re running out of fertilizer.

    4. We actually have the supply for this season. But corporations are charging replacement costs to farmers and nitrogen is up 50% because they can. I would be scared for supply next year at this rate, but the price will be worse.
      Phosphate and Potash outlook isn’t as bad.

      Why did Obama make fertilizer so expensive in the first place? Why does he hate America? Why does Biden eat 4 babies for breakfast?
