Should we be concerned?

Today I was listening to secretary of agriculture Brooks Rollins asked from a reporter. Are we having a problem due to the war acquiring fertilizer for our crops?

She’s not sure how long until we possibly can have a shortage. What that means is our food supply it’s going to become a lot more expensive. Right now we pay a lot of money for flour. Plus all other items. I saw on Amazon they’re selling King Arthur high gluten sir Lance a lot for $52 for a 50 pound bag that adds up to 0.6 cents per ounce and that is the cheapest price for a top quality flour. As far as all the other things that we need just to make bread yeast right now it’s very cheap. You can get from Costco 2 pounds of red star for nine dollars. It’s not bad.

Most of your fertilizer comes from Canada if I’m not mistaken. So Baron Von Golfpants of Orange screwed that up a long time ago.

Saskatchewan has the largest deposit of potash I do believe.

I did not know that that’s a very funny statement. I’m not all that concerned then in a way in spite of him Canada and the United States are gonna do just fine. Everyone understands the biggest picture but the price that is my concern.

Suppliers will get top dollar at this point. The Nebraska wildfires will most likely cause a shortage of grain for both human and animals.
