Cost of Fertilizer and It's Impact

[OKRuss]

Meant to add before hitting send. Some of us here do food plots for hunting purposes. Last year a 50 lb bag of Urea(46-0-0) at Eckroat Seed in OKC was $35. Called yesterday and it's $48. May buy 1000 lbs and just store in container. My own little nitrogen hedge fund!

I remember reading about where Cuba not being able to get chemical fertilizer.

They moved towards organic production!

I read the other day Russia was stopping all fertilizer exports. The Ukraine and Russia are big fertilizer and wheat exporters. These sanctions are just going to hurt use.

Grant County Oklahoma alone produces enough wheat to provide for the entire state of Oklahoma. The US produces a lot of wheat. If the folks in Washington would just let the USA provide for the USA in every aspect, from food to energy, we'd all be in a better place. Exports would be icing on the cake.

What filbert said. Russia produces a lot of fertilizer/components. They had an export ban for the past 6 months and they extended it through spring.

People need to wake up and realize there are countries that want to do harm to us…. Without firing a shot at us the will wage war with us economicly….and currently it appears our .gov isn’t willing to stand up for our interests.

OSA produces enough fertilizer. Throw in politicians and lawyers, we can export…

Just spoke with my brother that is a farmer and branch manager of AgRx. He told me fertilizer and all other ag chems are already up about 100% and they have been notified by suppliers to expect up to a 200% increase in the coming months. Many of the smaller farms are not going to be putting in crops in his area as they will lose money. It does not take much of an education to deduce the impact on produce and meat prices that are coming this summer. We actually do feed the world and this will result in famines overseas and shortages here as well. He is advising folks to plant victory gardens and can their goods. I freeze dry most of my stuff that I put up. Also buy grains, beans, sugar, and honey in bulk now before the panic buying starts. A little each trip. Any thoughts?

Corn producers have gone soybean due to input cost.
