@MichaelWSpike Would venture to guess the operator that you mentioned is broke due to irresponsibility in many aspects of their business. Pointing your finger at a single product is quite honestly a pretty chickenshit excuse. When used responsibly, there are benefits
@cb_catt I’m surprised you don’t acknowledge that every year is a different year and challenge. You do you but driving a car looking a the rear view mirror all the time isn’t my way of running a business. Appreciate the chat

This map is hard to read but it shows global fert trade flows.
If you ever think that #fertilizer is not a world market, look at this map.
What happens in China matters to a farmer in Kansas. What happens in Europe matters to farmers in Australia.
Keep your head on a pivot.
