A new survey revealed that a majority of U.S. farmworkers say they cannot afford fertilizer due to rising costs caused by the U.S.-Israeli conflict in Iran.


The survey released by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) on Tuesday shows that 70 percent say fertilizer is too expensive and has left them unable to purchase the fertilizer they need. The AFBF also found that 94 percent of respondents say their financial situation has worsened or remained the same, compared to 6 percent who say their financial situations improved.

“Spring planting decisions depend heavily on access to fertilizer and diesel fuel, both of which have been impacted by geopolitical risks that have disrupted global markets,” the AFBF’s economic analysis team, Market Intel, stated.

Nitrogen fertilizer prices have gone up more than 30 percent since the start of the conflict on Feb. 28, according to Market Intel. Combined fuel and fertilizer costs have also risen between 20 and 40 percent, with urea prices jumping 47 percent since late February.

The AFBF cited the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as the key factor affecting the crop production systems and fertilizer needs. Over one-third of globally traded fertilizer passes through the strait, but the conflict disrupted shipments intended for farmers just ahead of planting in the spring, The Washington Times previously reported.

LOL, Polls. This survey of 5700 farmers represents 0.2% of the 2.4M US farms.

An unwarranted, illegal war started by Trump.

Don't you believe the world is over populated?

Starvation is good for the environment.

So are the chem trails.

This isn't Trump's war. It is Israel's. They own Trump and most of the US government. They're masters are implementing the great reset.

You will eat the bugs

 

[odanny]

It's not just the cost of fertilizer, one guy said he was now spending an additional $1500 a month in fuel costs.

How many ways can Trump screw the American farmer?

Most of them voted for Trump, for sure where I live.

So 70 percent of less then 1 percent of all farmers?

LOL, Polls. This survey of 5700 farmers represents 0.2% of the 2.4M US farms.

Get real. What, the poll just happen to get the .2% of farmers facing higher prices? Do you not know how to look up a market price?

Diesel, fertilizer, those are major input cost for the farmer. Today, I passed pallets of fertilizer in a parking lot, for sale, cheap, damn stuff hotter than hell. But I bet it is all gone by now. Probably just took a couple hours.

I don't know what to think. Was this whole war, and the timing, just a complete and total screw-up. Or was it the mad scientist, Bibi's concoction? Or was it just evil genius as Trump finds even more ways to suck the marrow from the bones of the good people of this country.

Regardless, it hasn't went so well. Bibi said they couldn't close the Strait, said it would be short and sweet, said the people of Iran would rise up, hell, Bibi had insiders ready to act. He could not have gotten it more wrong. And the other thing, what the hell was the Trump administration thinking? It was a trainwreck waiting to happen. Yes, Trump is right, we need to spend more on the military, but how about we do that first, before we choose to go to war.

Twenty percent of the world's oil flows through the Strait, mostly bound for India, Pakistan, China, and Japan. Thirty percent of the world's fertilizers come through that Strait. And Helium, it is like HALF. Did anyone prepare for this? Hell no, a bunch of bumbling idiots. I could see it two weeks before it happened.

Traffic is still crawling through the Strait. I have reports of four Iranian ships making it through, one with two million barrels of oil. It is a big game of chicken. We can turn some of the ships back to port, we have to let the ships out of Saudia Arabia, Oman, and the UAE out. But still, can the freight be insured. Trump can't control that. And to blow some of those ships out of the water, well that is a bridge we probably don't want to cross. He is bluffing. They know it, cat and mouse.

I have sources telling me production in Saudi Arabia is down to 650,000 barrels a day. That ain't shit. And they can't just flip a switch and turn that back on. You are looking at a lag time of at least three months, more like six. Going to be a hot, long, summer with gas prices continuing to rise and energy prices, OMG. This state is looking at an 18% increase over the next two years. That is going to a hit to many people, especially the poor.

The timing was absolutely terrible. At this point, hard to extract yourself without losing face. Maybe, we should roll with losing face.

Should have gone organic 15 years ago when they were saying prices of fertilizers would continue to rise and the world would eventually run out. Oh well.

The Deep State Psy Op is proceeding as planned
Energy plus Food Starvation equals Poverty and Chaos .

Bingo .
Just what Trumpfy was asked to do .

Another three weeks seals success --- see planting times world wide.

a perfect example of why we shouldnt depend on foreign countries for essential goods like food and medicine,,

we are more than capable of providing for ourselves,, we just need to get the government out of the way,,
