Show Notes
Amidst the escalating war between the US, Israel, and Iran, American farmers face a dire crisis as fertilizer and diesel prices soar, threatening their planting season. President Trump rallies farmers, but the twelve billion dollar aid package and trade tariffs fail to alleviate the pressure. Wheat, barley, potatoes, dairy, and beef operations are hit hard by skyrocketing input costs, with gasoline, diesel, and urea fertilizer prices surging. Agriculture groups seek fifteen billion more in aid, while some farmers consider switching to low-fertilizer crops. The Strait of Hormuzs status remains a critical concern.
