VeeThe clown in chief better get his fertilizer together...
I'd grow my own veggies if I were you...
Alison Meeks@VeroniqueB99 Weird thing when they were laying tariffs on Canada last fall and winter and we were trying to say, you depend on our potash.
mike805@Alison @VeroniqueB99 Ban oil and gas exports.
Pause ethanol requirements in gasoline.
Pause requirement for diesel exhaust fluid - that is basically fertilizer.
Stop burning food and there might be some to eat.

Corn shortage only means bellies in Mexico go empty. In the USA it's used for junk food, sugar production, and animal feed. Eat less beef (more chicken, pork) and less junk food/sugar sounds like a winning proposition to me. Ethanol pause in gasoline will never happen- Ethanol is the substitue anti-knock agent for MTBE, which was the replacement for TEL. Ethanol in the gas ain't going nowhere, except in E85 states.
@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @Alison @VeroniqueB99 Fertilizer shortage means only the most profitable crops get planted, even if some people go hungry.
If there is a shortage of fertilizer then stop other uses for the raw materials, and stop growing corn to make fuel.
It's easier to import beef than animal feed so beef will probably be an expensive import under those conditions.
