You have folks shutting down production because of climate change (no kidding), or as in Belgium because of “nitrogen.”
That's not just there. The US government pays $1,300,000,000 a year to farmers so they let their land lay Fallow. That's right! Get paid to intentionally have production go to 0. Only to a government bureaucrat does that make sense.

You have fertilizer shortfalls because of a stupid and completely unnecessary war we started. This war also has impacted wheat production.
You have rising fuel prices. In many places you have exploding electrical costs because of the impact from the war such as in Europe (Russian gas): https://www.reuters.com/article/spain-energy-tax-idAFL8N2Y81IZ This of course impacts agriculture.
We are led by geniuses.
People with a lot of great ideas! The likes of John Kerry.
Ideas about nitrogen fertilizers, CO2 and climate change, shortages of potable water, or who we need to start a war with... Today all you need to say is "for the children," "national security," or "save the planet" and you can regulate cow farts, literally.
Free markets controlled by supply and demand? Not so much.
The same people that "are from the government want to help" that fixed our health care, fixed our college tuition costs, fixed public education, that brought you a TSA for $9 billion a year that have not caught a single terrorist to date, are now fixing you food supply. Government isn't happy until they regulate every aspect of every human, animal, and plant life.
US grain acreage planted is on par with 2021 or better.
There are no farmers NOT PLANTING due to fuel as the retard video claims.
USDA total acreage report is due at end of month.
