“Right now, CBS News is on fire”
Scott Pelley: “We need adult supervision and at the moment we don’t have it. We have people who’ve been installed in these jobs who through no fault of their own have no experience in television. It’s not their fault, but they don’t know what they’re doing. There’s a subtle political bias that I’ve never seen at 60 Minutes or CBS News before. That is my hope, a return to sanity. A return to honor, a return to courage. We used to have all of those things in abundance and now we don’t. We can save this. It’s possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News, in my view, is on fire”

It is the wettest stretch of weather ever since 1893 for the Midwest and Great Lakes region.
It's been ONE OF the driest periods ever for the central plains and the Southeastern US.
Believe it or not it's also been one of the warmest periods in history as well since records started being kept.
Wild stats!

Higher number=Drier/cooler
Long nitrogen fertilizer post:
Lot of folks asking "how do we solve this crisis quickly?". Short answer...you don't. The damage is done.
We CAN alleviate some of the problems and we CAN help put the market in a better place for the next generation:
Very short-term: consider another government farmer payout
- I am not a fan of gov't subsidy payments, but when gov't action destroys the farmer markets, I can justify them. This helps the average farmer survive the year.
Short-term: do away with DEF requirements
- talk to most people who have to use DEF and they will be more than happy to share why it sucks. Removing requirements puts a lot of tons back in farmers hands.
Medium-term: look into enticing existing production into debottleneck projects/production expansions
- yes, I know this just makes the big companies bigger but the problem is not the number of companies but rather the lack of supply. We need an injection of supply sooner than later.
Long-term: finance package for a new company to build a new world scale nitrogen production facility
- this checks the box for more competition and more supply in the market. This would take years...again, we are thinking of the next generation.
This is just my personal two-cents and honestly, my personal POV is rarely worth that much!
