Crop report from @SKayPorter on May 22 in Montgomery County:
"We were able to plant our last soybean field on May 14 in between rains. It rained 1 to 2 inches after these were planted, with most of the rain on Monday, May 18th. These soybeans were just starting to emerge and we will need to wait another week before we can start taking plant populations. Nearby corn was at V3, with stands looking good. Wheat harvest will be 1 to 2 weeks earlier than normal this year. A few plants were showing signs of fusarium head blight or head scab. Fungicides should have been applied at early flowering (anthesis - anthers are present) or as late as 5 to 7 days after flower for disease suppression. Some pre and post herbicide applications taking place on dryer or tiled ground."

To everyone new to fertilizer markets. Reason why prices are high, here are the highlights:
Urea - European production at 75%
UAN - Russian exports low/European production at 75%
NH3 - Russia/Europe
Phosphate - Chinese exports low
Potash - it is actually decently priced
This is a global thing, not just one country...
@cfarms76 Ran that motor in this 05 980000+miles. 3 injectors and 3 oil coolers is all we had to do to it. It was set at 525 hp. That the best running truck I ever drove.
@MaxROIFarmer It applies in IL for the federal hazmat but you still have to follow DOT regulations. No different than ag exemption while hauling oversized. Still have to follow flagging and marking but not get a permit.
