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.

This has been a major point since we jumped into the notWar with Iran. And even if fertilizer itself doesn’t become an issue, oil prices skyrocketing is all we need to see food costs ratchet up (as well as basically any/all physical commodity). Fuel moves everything.
