Fertilizer what if?

[agstar77]

American farmers are in the same boat as we are with fertilizer prices. Farmers in South America are facing similar problems. If you don't think this has the makings of a real disaster, then you are living in a dream world. In the U.S. corn prices are collapsing with the fall of ethanol production. Will they be able to apply high price fertilizer?

If the world is hungry, x y z African countries can be seeded down to crops, 24/7/365. Not even winter to stop them.

Feeding the world becomes a problem when you have slimy greedy gills trying to squeeze production into their fishtank because they think they'll get an extra feed. Pars

Cut back, use less, grow a smaller crop, is the formula that is being forced on farmers, whether they like it or not, by high fert prices. Maybe it is a good thing of ag, price for food will have to rise. The consumer will squeal when cereal rises another 5 cents per box!
