“The market will adjust. New sources of fertilizer will be found. Fallow land will be put into production.”
The problem is that the adjusting and new sources can not be done quickly. Most Americans don’t have a clue about the importance of natural gas as feed stock for fertilizer production, to say nothing about all the other things that begin with natural gas. Too bad the White House decided natural gas is too harmful to bother producing much of it.
Fallow land will be put into production
I have a lot of land in CRP right now and if they want this in production this year they better be telling us now! planting season is in 2/4 weeks.
