Farms Fail As Fertilizer Prices Soar

[struth]

Damn, the Dems now control the whole fucking world.

When did this happen?

The US Farmers feed the world. We are the leading exporter and have been for quite some time. What it cost are farmers to produce impacts the world

Bring back Nixon and four dollar wheat

My big time farmer plants beans one year and corn the next,

That is what most grain farmers around here do. A few in the bootheel of Missouri rotate rice and beans yearly, but there are not a lot of those.

We need real crop rotation. Plant wheat for straw and alfalfa for hay.

Some do winter wheat, but there is no real market for straw. It is not even a product that is tracked.

Other places are catching up, Brazil grew more soy beans than us a couple years ago. And their cost per acre is far below ours. I was in a seminar back in early 2020 and was surprised to find out how much more we spend per acre. The only thing saving our farmers is the low cost of transportation thanks in large part to the Mississippi river and our rail system.

If China ever finishes their rail system from the grain growing areas of Brazil to the ports they run, our farmers will be in trouble.

But none of that has anything to do with the cost of fertilizer.

Say, Honey! Is that someone knocking on the door? Tell them I'm not here.

They don't knock anymore ...

... or, more accurately, they only knock once ... and VERY loudly.

Methinks the privileged, elitist city folk are gonna be in for a rude awakening in the near future.

Start stocking up fellas. And if you have no tradeable skills, get yourselves some barter items.

 

[lennypartiv]

Damn, Biden is so powerful he caused fertilizer prices to go up all around the globe.
Who knew he had that power

Democrats and the NWO can do lots of things.

I don't barter.
Won't need to.

 

[armadei]

I don't barter.
Won't need to.

I'd like to think I won't need to but I can't predict the future, so I most certainly have stashed some barter items.

It is not that simple. A grain farmer with a couple 1000 acres is not going to have enough cow shit to fertilize it plus they do not have the facilities for handling cattle.

In the short run that farmer needs synthetic high nitrogen fertilizer

but there are better ways to farm that the ag colleges dont teach

no-till farming combined with cover crops is becoming better understood all the time as an alternative to conventional farming

yep it cost a lot here that’s the point of the thread

brazil and other countries have a long long way to go

All part of 'Build Back Better' from the elites.

As Biden put the kibosh on a NG pipeline from the Mideast to Europe.

The dolts who believe that we can run the economy and power grids off "green" energy will never know what hit them. The elite will just laugh as they force more and more people into ever bigger cities.

Soaring fertilizer prices across the globe have impacted farmers making it more expensive to produce food and forcing them to cut back on production, The Wall Street Journal reported.​

​

Diammonium phosphate, or DAP, a common component of fertilizer, cost $745 per metric ton in December 2021, more than double its average 2020 price, the WSJ reported.​

​

Higher fertilizer costs could translate into increased food prices in the next year, worsening global hunger after the pandemic caused massive job losses and further growing inflation, the WSJ reported.​

​

U.S. farmers have felt the impact of the rising fertilizer prices, causing some to alter their planting schedules, the WSJ reported. The high costs significantly impact developing countries with limited access to bank loans and therefore cannot afford the fertilizer​

​

Fertilizer demand in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to dip 30% in 2022 for this reason, resulting in a reduction of 30 million metric tons of food produced, or enough to feed 100 million people, according to the International Fertilizer Development Center.​

​

“Lower fertilizer use will inevitably weigh on food production and quality, affecting food availability, rural incomes and the livelihoods of the poor,” Josef Schmidhuber, deputy director of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s trade and markets division, told the WSJ.​

​

The surging prices also result from growing energy costs, with sky-high European natural gas prices in 2021 compared to in 2020, according to data obtained by the WSJ.​

​

Nitrogen production factories rely on natural gas to turn chemicals into finished products, leading to increased fertilizer prices, the WSJ reported. Leading fertilizer exporters, including China, Turkey, Egypt and Russia, also curbed exports in the second half of 2021, which also added to price hikes.​

All this started under Trump and yet you leave him out of the problem, how convenient. I have some good news for you, most of the farms in the US are CAFO's or corporate farms controlled by big business interest.

Is that slash-and-burn brazile where costs are lower than here?

Build Back Better has nothing to do with the collapse of petroleum and the lack of supply for fertilizers, nor does it have anything to do with low production to increase prices by the cartel and the corporations.

 

[XponentialChaos]

Not a problem. We’ll just give the farmers billions of dollars again.
