We still have Brawndo.
My girlfriend’s brother works for a major fertilizer outfit on the Mississippi River. He told me yesterday that fertilizer prices in general right now are double last year’s price...and that’s for what can be had. He said there’s one kind they were selling by the ton last year that they’re selling by the pound right now.
This is ‘the shoe’ I’ve been waiting to ‘drop’ ever since the start of covid. This Ukraine War is only going to make it worse.
Just because Brawndo hasn't worked in the past is no reason to stop using it. /sarc
I have a hard time believing his fact that Russia provides 75% of the world’s ammonium nitrate.
All part of the Great Reset plan.
“What is keeping the US from making fertilizer?”
Our plants keep catching on fire.
Recently a big one in Winston- Salem NC.
Houston last year.
Not sure about these stats either but FWIW
https://www.nationmaster.com/nmx/ranking/nitrogen-fertilizer-production
Russian Federation is the top country by ammonium nitrate production in the world. As of 2019, ammonium nitrate production in Russian Federation was 10.2 million tonnes that accounts for 61.64% of the world's ammonium nitrate production. The top 5 countries (others are Uzbekistan, Poland, the United States of America, and Canada) account for 89.82% of it. The world's total ammonium nitrate production was estimated at 16.6 million tonnes in 2019.
I’m in full agreement.
I thought it would hit last year. It didn’t.
By the fall we’ll know the impact I’m sure.
Well, at least I won’t have to mow the lawn as often. Might be hungry, tho.
EPA regs, the party in power in Congress, the idiot in the White House.
Anyone know the fertilizer requirements of rice as a commercial crop? Potatoes?
Don’t forget West, TX. Blew the town apart. I remember seeing the smoke cloud from the DFW area.
I just picked up 2 50 pound bags of 40-0-0 and 2 of the 13-13-13 at Walmart.
I’m ready.
The trend, especially in the US, has been a switch to NH3 or urea rather than ammonium nitrate.
That’s because it is a lie.
I’m stocking up on rice and beans....
Potatoes just need good compost and dirt. Those leaves that get raked make good compost. I compost my leaves and fish remains, and leftovers from the kitchen, works pretty well.
Cessation of mean tweets is worth any amount of inconvenience
