Perhaps some good nitrogen #fertilizer news on the horizon?

Dutch TTF values (Europe natural gas) have fallen to almost half of their high ($103 to $63-$65 today).

Still not cheap enough for plants to restart naturally but closer and easier for gov't to step in an assist.

Heading to Boise! Last time I was in Idaho was for a lovely backcountry & camping trip in 2015. This time I have slacks and blouses with me instead of a tent and headlamp, but looking forward to it nonetheless.
