War in Ukraine Cuts Fertilizer Supply, Hurting Food Prices and Farmers | WSJ 

I like when they ask the viewer, "So what does that mean for X?" when has it not ever been, "Prices go up".

A country boy can survive.

Cover crops like clover which fixes nitrogen and permaculture practices can help. Gabe Brown in North Dakota is a successful permaculture farmer.

Cover cropping with non-patented seed varieties needs much wider adoption across all kinds of agriculture in order to lessen dependence on industrial fertilizers.

It affects poor farmers in developing world more than the rich farmers in the West.

1:50 I’m rather disappointed that a news source as allegedly reputable as the WSJ would include Taiwan in its map after saying the word “China”. Why stop there, why wasn’t Crimea highlighted at the mention of Russia?

With all the livestock in America why the need for man made fertilizer

Time to start Regenerative Farming, fertilizers and tilling are short term solutions to food for the US.

No doubt the sitting administration is entirely blind to the idiosyncrasies of these problems.

Nicely explained.

Gee I don't know what they did back in 1800 when America didn't rely on other countries it amazing they survived it who you put in Washington!

Use Russians. Tell them they'll get free vodka then process them into fertilizer. How do I know? They make sunflowers grow.

That thumbnail is just misleading 😂

It's time for Regenerative Agriculture.

Maybe Americans in WA D.C. can supply the decades of accumulated b.s.

Good thing there are better ways like regenerative agriculture and using living organic soil. It takes about 40 barrels of fuel to create one 50 pound bag of nitrogen fertilizer. The world needs to start cover cropping to fix nitrogen out of the air 🤙

Russia is the world's largest fertilizer exporter

audio is nice today thanks

Not the war but the sanctions on Russia have cut the fertilizer supply

Amazing video!! Very informative!

The US has plenty of food. The problem is that we're feeding our crops to livestock rather than humans. There's no reason for us to continue eating meat as we do.

Corn hit $8 a bushel...you better have some sort of plan for your family. Those “crazy preppers” aren’t looking so stupid now.

Working in food supply chains in north America for past 9 years, I can tell you the drought in California caused a massive spike in food inflation across the continent, a drought that scientists say will keep increasing and is irreversible. Large parts of California that were previously fertile and wet are now arid deserts. Compound that with rising ammonia prices for the past decade, especially in 2021, made the situation much worse. Fertilizer is made from ammonia. Add salt to the wound, US/EU sanctioned Russian gas in 2022 (ammonia is made from gas), the country that was the largest gas exporter in the world. You really ought to question the US policymakers: what exactly is their intention? These guys are problem-creators, not solution providers. Civilians should be aware of who they're electing into office. But to be fair, I have not seen any politician from any party address these issues or formulate a solution.

Though it's a move that needed to be done much earlier, permaculture principles are THE alternative that need to be explored, especially at the scale of monoculture farms.

Thanks dear WSJ for this helpful information and video ✓

High prices! Climate change! Inflation! MOAR

Is this gonna make my Big Macs more expensive?

Well we have an obesity epidemic, so…

Our government could step up to help these farmers with fertilizer. They don’t mind giving our money away to other countries. How about them helping OUR farmers so we don’t all starve to death.

what are thos chinese borders at 1:46

6.34: 'solutions are very difficult'. nonsense, solution is very easy: cut a deal with Russia. If you choose not than the solution is to pay higher price. Not difficult at all

United States Imports from Russia of Fertilizers was US$1.28 Billion during 2021, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade.

For one thing I would be scared to import anything that deals with food I 'm sure America has fertilizer plants their one in Michigan

Just use natural manure such as fruit peels and coe dung from functions and party's

SCOTTS.

We grow our own vegetables in our garden for the summer. If everyone does that, it will reduce demands and stablize cost/supply.

At least they have extra used Z tanks and equipment to use in case their equipment break down .

not a crisis for the US baby

still ongoing.

MY EGGGGGSSS 😭😭😭😭

since when Tajikistan and Krgyzstan became a part of China?

Patrick is a cutie ❤

The world in trouble 😔🥦🥬😭🍉🍒

Or farmers could manage their fields in a manner that did not require applying fertilizer.

Here I will answer my last post it's called greed

Just use period blood. Problem solved

Learn what farmers from 24 states and over 20 countries worldwide already know about the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement” that makes fertilizer affordable at 1984 cost and reduces toxicity. Why would you doubt the WORD of 3 agronomists, a past Board Member of the New York Farm Viability Institute (and farmer), a Georgia Corn Commission Board Member (and farmer), top NCGA corn yield winners, soil structure and nutrient manager and other farmers about the unmatched benefits of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement”? If you can't believe them, who can you believe? As one farmer put it - It almost feels like cheating.

because Lebanon was an accident. IT WAS AN ACT OF WAR to put you in this position.

Funny how all the price increases are because of x, y, and z. I can tell you the answer to all this lies with the FED. All the blame should be put in the FED reserve bank and nothing else.

Go Organic!!!

As far as I see it fertilizer is the only thing that can make fruits/vegetables grow quickly but they are forgetting that for thousands of years that humans never had access to chemicals like these we would get it from natural supplies like cow manure, plant compost these can help plants a lot and we can supply them by the sheer number of wildstock we keep. Fertilizer is not the only option.

At 5:05, you claim that farmers are not benefiting from higher retail prices; then you immediately follow that by saying that (farmer's) profit margins are the same and consumers are having to pay more. If the margins are the same and the price is higher, then farmers ARE making more money. If you only report on economics, first read a book about it, WSJ.

If our government were more concerned about the American well being as a whole, rather than social political capital gains within a few groups, they would’ve seen this coming and been better prepared for this and could’ve eased the burden on ALL Americans. Instead, every American is paying the price for systemic governmental failures

Thanks god we are not a western puppet. Things are still buyable in India.

Global famine is next. 😂

WHY NOT ANSWER WHY ZELENSKYY WAS NAMED ON THE PANDORA PAPERS HUH WSJ

Legume trees make nitrogen based fertilizer.

Look it up its a fact ..

First nation fert ownd mine slowd mining non native rail gives excuses on rail car supply while 2500 fert carts are parkt for painting .. 100000 man hours to paint em .. now native fert mine cant even market thier product..

THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END.

You can try to grow organically, find ways not to depend on external farm outputs.

Thanks Biden

Are fertilizers and grains can only be generated of ukraine to put to the russians the blames. Didnt each nations had their lands to tilt. If in instance china and israel can turn their desert to farmland.

Let's build Giga-farms for year round agricultural production using aquaculture and vertical farming outside our major cities all powered by renewably powered electricity. Food, fish, bamboo, building supplies, biochar etc.

WSJ are you China has taken over Kyrgyzstan? Check 1:48

nonsense…

i wonder if fertilizer is overrated, considering it's maybe a 150year old idea.... it'll have an impact but, how much?

Soil production plant A Nutrient resurch feed food medical Robinson Illinois FlatRock Palestine Illinois... Natural gas and the central location allong the Wabash River

And our leaders are only escalating in Ukraine.

sleepy joe will keep providing weapons to ukraine and ignore home problem like this lol

WHEAT FUTURES

It seems Ukraine has suddenly become the only country that produces everything every other nation needs to survive. A country most of the world had barely heard of just a few years ago. All seems a bit odd and over exaggerated to cover over the many failures of the leaders of business and governments of the world.

Nyimak bang

all these commentors telling farmers that urban regenerative organic vertical legume farms will solve all their problems

A very vital illustration about the causes of events in Ukraine: Imagine that you live in your house and coming out on Monday you see that a neighbor from another house walks around and loudly scolds you, jumps, shouting insults, although you did nothing to him and even sold gas cheaper. He shouts that you should be killed. On Tuesday, this neighbor walks around and loudly calls you to kill and shouts that the language in which all the neighbors communicated before this Tuesday is bad and it needs to be eradicated, and he already has a machine gun in his hands. On Wednesday, everything repeats as on Tuesday, but already you see the burned corpses of those who did not support their neighbor (an analogy with Odessa in May 2014) and treated you normally. Behind the neighbor there are already people who brought him cookies (analogy with Victoria Nulland). On Thursday, some neighbors, realizing what is going on, move into your house (Crimea), and some do not have time (Donbass). The neighbor is already directly threatening you because of the relocation of others, and those who fed the neighbor with cookies demand to return the neighbors, despite the fact that they themselves made such a decision and do not want to go back. On Friday, the whole yard is already littered with the corpses of those who did not have time to move in with you, and your neighbor is no longer alone with a machine gun in his hands, behind his back with machine guns are those who gave him these machines. The neighbor is already shouting that everyone who does not support him and treats you normally will live in basements for the rest of their lives, or they will be killed (Poroshenko's speech is about the residents of Donbass). Those who supply your neighbor with free vending machines are very supportive of him and also shout and insult you. On Saturday, a neighbor already loudly declares that he wants to place weapons in his house, from which you can directly destroy your house and asks those who gave him a machine gun to give him nuclear weapons and reconsider his nuclear-free status. Those who are behind do not condemn your neighbor and probably, in principle, are already thinking about how many nuclear weapons and long-range weapons can be placed in the neighbor's house. Question: Will you live to see Monday and what will you do? P/S Today is exactly 8 years of the tragedy in Odessa. On May 2, 2014, during protests in Odessa, Ukrainian nationalists burned alive opponents of the new Ukrainian regime in the House of Trade Unions, 42 people were burned alive because they were not released, and those who jumped out of the window were beaten to death with bats...

FOOD PRICES IS SO HIGH I THINK AM IN THE THIRD WORLD...EGGS $10.00 IN NYC .....GALLON MILK IS 4.49 IN SUPERMARKETS...20POUND BWG RICE IS $23.00.COOKING OIL IS $19.00

US should stop subsidizing farmers.

😄😄😄😄😄

Maybe Zelensky & Biden would feed the world with plastic rice & rubber chops

BOO HOOOOOOO !!!!!!!

*ERVYTHANG* Goin A^ organic bio fertilizer *human urine*

Natural gas processors mobile. Global operations resource management center central location where I am from. Hq. Global invasive species reclamation projects... let's. Build this one together... What do you say? Invasive species reclamation.. land water sea fresh. Hunt process and make Nutrient feed soil food medicine powder oil.....

war that doesn't pollute land with fertilizer is good

Revelation 211Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Thanks Putin

jess ucrania surrender already. smh

I still blame the American government for all of this... playing the god game over the same issues their perpetrators of... 🙄🙄

Shame on WSJ

Why are farmers complaining ? They will earn billions while we take the price hike...

Is this price of Democracy ?

donot care, we american have too much money to buy what we want in the world
