Straight Up Gouging

This should be investigated.

But instead the conservative worry about fertilizer reductions. They represent the fertilizer companies not the farmers.

[FarmJunkie]

Whole system is rigged. People talk about this company or that company that increase their prices but it’s way up higher on the food chain that. U gotta look to see who and why things are the way they are. It goes all the way to our economical and financial systems. Not just Ag.

I imagine the price will fall sub $1000 then farmers will want to buy some for next yr, then they will tell you they cant get any.

But if ammonia is falling, that might mean the entire commodity complex might as well. Scary.

No different than other years, the decrease just came off from a higher starting point.

Supply and demand, that's why 12 out of 13 years fertilizer prices were cheaper in the fall.

It is a normal seasonal thing that fertilizer prices ease starting in late May. In the past, fertilizer picked up after the May long was usually lower than fertilizer bought earlier in the season, often times helping make the average price paid in spring quite competitive with storing fertilizer bought in fall. The fertilizer 'shortage' was really over hyped this year.

No different than other years,

You are saying this year is the same as every other year. I doubt many farmers see it that way.

Pls show me the year where diesel doubled and every chemical we use too.

I agree this whole fertilizer bullshit is just that pure fu king bullshit.

No shortage of ammonia no shortage s15 or S10 or anything it was a total **** farmers.
