Is there any practical reason other than price gouging for the COST of fertilizer and chemicals which have gone up from 2 to 4 times from last years cost even though they weren't in short supply? About all the
suppliers around here were filled, some to above to capacity last fall . Tires, oil, fuel and so on, with to many to mention are following the same trend. The thing that gets me is when some makes the
statement that crop prices are high and input cost are following that, that may be so to some extent but how does an increase of over a dollar on corn and 2 dollars on soybeans since last fall equate to 30%
nitrogen last year being less than $200.00 a ton too over $600.00 and fertilizer at $390 at ton too near $800.00 priced DAILY to which I could go on and on.
