Show Notes
Colorado farmers grapple with soaring fertilizer prices, with nitrogen costs surging thirty percent and fuel prices climbing too. Farmers like Roy Pfaltgraff and Justin Lewton face increased planting costs, with corn planting alone now over two hundred dollars per acre. Farmers blame big fertilizer companies for profiteering amid industry consolidation, urging stronger antitrust enforcement. Lawmakers are also taking action, with Missouri Senator Josh Hawley and a coalition of farm groups calling for market relief. As planting season begins, these rising costs threaten yields and profits, leaving farmers and officials on high alert for fairer pricing.
