Agriculture secretary: Rising fertilizer prices 'shouldn't be too disruptive' for US farmers

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Wednesday that increased fertilizer prices amid the war with Iran will not impact the majority of U.S. farmers.

Rollins told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” that 80 percent of farmers “had already purchased their fertilizer by last year, in preparation for the spring planting season.”

The secretary noted that indicates there “shouldn’t be much disruption” from the increase in fertilizer costs sparked by Iran restricting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on Feb. 28, the Iranian military has warned ships from the U.S., Israel and allies against traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. Just five vessels have gone through the passageway over the past 24 hours, down significantly from the normal daily average of 60 ships, according to hormuzstraitmonitor.com.
