“Soaring fertilizer prices are likely to spike food prices,” Riensche told host Tucker Carlson. “If you’re upset that gas is up a dollar or two a gallon, wait until your grocery bill is up $1000 a month. And it may not manifest itself in terms of price, it could be quantity as well. Empty shelf syndrome may just be starting.”
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly. Up $1000 a month?” an incredulous Carlson asked.
“Sure,” Riensche replied. “The price of growing my crops, or the major crops, corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, cotton are up 30 to 40 percent. They are on my farm. And most of it is fertilizer. Nitrogen prices are up three times from the last crop we put in. Phosphorous and potassium have doubled.”
“The planting season in the northern hemisphere is just weeks away. There is no miracle technology that can cut that in a half or a third,” he said. “It’s a pretty fixed formula. For me to grow an acre of corn on my farm, I need 200 pounds of nitrogen, 200 pounds of phosphorus, and 100 pounds of potash [fertilizer potassium].
Riensche told Carlson that it remains to be seen how this plays out, and speculated that some farmers may opt to “switch to other crops that produce less.”
He said the main culprit is the price of natural gas. “It’s the key stock of most fertilizer inputs,” he explained. “But then we’ve got supply chain rules that came from the pandemic, a few hurricanes that knocked down some supply sources.”

This scare tactic will ensure that that prediction comes true as people start hoarding food.
They have got us by the short hairs every way from Sunday.
Just saw this video by a guest on Joe Rogan re digital currency:
Farmer told me today that corn is up over 7 a bushel and soybeans over 16.
The other day I heard on the radio how the host was suprised that March did not come in as a Lion as the weather was pleasant. Well, in every other aspect it has.
Shotguns will soon be considered garden supplies.
Time to demand the Biden Maladministration rescind ethanol requirements that are causing needed food to be wasted as a fuel supplement.
Urea is a low cost nitrogen fertilizer form. This is because of its high nitrogen composition and consequent low transport and storage costs. Urea may be the fertilizer of choice when only nitrogen is needed in a soil fertility program.
Victor Davis Hanson said the same thing last night
That means..
Well let’s just say there are some who won’t be paying that for long.

Ukraine and Russia supply huge wheat, barley….close to 50 percent, well, Ukraine lost a growing cycle and Russia signed an agreement to supply Russia with it’s grain…..and Russia supplies huge amounts of fertilizer ( could not document amounts), throw in a bad weather year in America and yes, Johnny, severe food shortages can happen here the the old USA….looks like Martin Armstrong was correct- again.

That is the first comment that I have agreed with you on a long time.
Ethanol is naturally corrosive to engine components like rubber hoses and seals. Turning food into fuel is evil and callous.
