Yes, that too.
Most likely every thing they try will only magnify the
results. Why, it might even get so bad that THEY will
feel the effect!

Time to reopen the Potash mines outside of Carlsbad NM.

There’s no good reason why the world must depend on Russia for fertilizer.

Fertilizer is of two basic types: nitrogen and potassium

The nitrogen kind is generally manufactured directly from natural gas. Russia has lots of natgas so naturally it can produce lots of this kind of fertilizer.

The potassium fertilizer comes from a mined mineral called potash which is plentiful in Canada, USA, and Russia.

USA and Canada also, coincidentally, have lots of natgas reserves. North America can produce all the fertilizer necessary for Europe and the americas. Russia is not needed.

Does it really matter who actually obtains wheat actually grown from Ukrainian soil? Isn’t wheat a fungible commodity so that when one specific source of wheat is lost, it affects the price and availability of all wheat?

I think your observations are spot on.

And since we don’t know the timing of the return of Jesus, nor how bad things are going to get before He does come, it behooves people to prepare as much as possible.

Ukraine’s wheat mostly goes to 3rd world countries........but UN won’t mind at the slack, they’ll just do another food drive so the $$$$ fill their members coffers.

Chicken food has went from $9 for a 50 lb bag two weeks ago to $14.50 a bag yesterday.
This yr crop will be OK as most is winter wheat planted last fall. Don’t know what they plant in other countries. Corn crops will be down big time without fertilizer.
This is turn will effect meat prices.

This would be terrifying if I was not a Christian and ready to go home to Christ any time he wants to call me back.

Amen

things are going south real fast
but we know how The Book ends
