Madam Secretary, fertilizer prices are still high for farmers. When compared to corn prices:

Urea - 2nd highest value ever
UAN - 2nd highest value ever
NH3 - 2nd highest value ever
DAP - 2nd highest value ever

There are simple short and long term fixes. Just takes action.

Nitrogen
Short-term - remove DEF requirements (puts nitrogen back to the farmer)
Long-term - back domestic production

Phosphate
Short-term - repeal counter vailing duties
Long-term - invest in countries with phosphate rock reserves and get long term supply agreements

Potash
Short-term - quit fighting Canada
Long-term - quit fighting Canada

After a few sunny days, #corn is wilting. If we check the #soil, it is clear moisture is not short.

Accordingly, leaf wilt is a very unreliable indicator of #irrigation needs.

More sunshine and aeration are the best cure for this matter.
