China and the strait of hormuz are both responsible for providing the U.S with fertilizer.
And both are no longer providing this.
Here it is May. The Spring planting season. No fertilizer.
No crops being planted.
Not to mention all the farm bankruptcies a few months back.
A lot of farming is needed for animal feed. Like. A fuck ton of it.
When the price of grains goes up due to an absolute certain crippled supply (come the fall), there will be mass culling of animal stock. And then mass layoffs and closures of animal farms.
The ones staying open will have to charge more than double.
You thought eggs were expensive last year?
Go ahead and set up a chicken coop in your back yard now cause that's gonna be the only protein you can afford by this time next year.
Feed is going to at least double. So I suggest buying now. Vacuum bag it. Store it in cold dry dark place.
People don't realize that things that happen today have big ramifications later.
Even if fertilizer is restored soon, it's too late for this year.
YEAR. That means consequence of this will impact things for almost 2 years. Likely effects felt for a decade.
It's going to get real bad.
Local owned small Restaurants who are already struggling with high food costs will close.
More fast food chains will go out too.
Don't forget that alcohol relies on farms.
Bars will close. Vinyards will go babkrupt.
So much of the economy relies on the farming industry.
But it will affect crop yields globally, which means what yields there are, will have to be spread thinner, raising prices. Same with oil prices. Our economy doesn't exist in a vacuum. Shortages elsewhere still have an impact on us.
I agree, the US still has international exposure and will feel impacts from it. I mostly had issue with the claims that the US isn't planting enough in 2026 and will have to cull livestock because of it. It's just not true. Most of the planting has been done and is being fertilized with supply that was secured before the shock. 2027 will likely be the tougher year, but it still won't be because the US can't plant anything.
Exaggerated point. Much lower crops are being planted.
Corn and wheat specifically for big crops.
But other types of vegetables too.
Do none of y'all watch the news?
With diesel cost sky rocketing and some necessary fertilizers increasing in cost, in addition to increasing farm bankruptcies from last year and this year it's inevitable.
How can any of you honestly believe this isn't going to have huge ramifications?
Lowest planting of wheat crops in 56 years.

I do competition BBQ on occasion and I just want to say, that making good Texas style BBQ is not hard if you have the time and space. Once your smoker is dialed in it is just like using an oven, or even use a pellet grill. Grab a chuck roast and or a Boston butt and have some fun. No need to spend 50 bucks for a pound of mediocre BBQ from a joint anymore
No matter how much the fascists in office keep repeating it, there is no centralized "antifa" group. It's applied to a diverse grouping of left-wing movements that seek to counteract the rise of Christian nationalist fascism, something that is sorely needed with the policies being enacted by the current administration.
And anyone who places more weight in lies about transgender women being a risk to cisgender women over the wellbeing of transgender people is not a centrist.
I know you're immune to logic based on your previous replies, but if someone knows you're concealed carrying, you're not concealed carrying. If they do know, from the outside looking in, seems like tough guy behavior.
Lastly, there is no they, because antifa is an idea.
I sure as hell wasn’t going to vote for Hillary, that snake.
You picked Mr Trump over Ms Clinton; or anyone else, for that matter? Hang your head, my dude. In a binary choice, I'd vote for a ham sandwich over Mr Trump.
So you're still far right, just not an abject nazi, got it. That was confirmed by the whole "trans dudes taking over women's sports" as well, btw. If you're going to denigrate a minority group at least know what the fuck you're talking about.
All right. I really like religious studies, I'm a Christian, although it goes much, much deeper than that. I'm gonna need a reason from Christ himself justifying your beliefs.
Now, regardless of nothing of the sort being mentioned by the Christ, why would you, a self-proclaimed proponent of loving everyone (Christian), insist on using rhetoric that you surely know is insulting and degrading to a group of people? Was it not Christ that said, if you see your brother stumble, first go to him? Then his family? It seems, in your haste judgments you've skipped some steps.
Lastly, this is why the western church is dying. Apostle Paul warned of things not in the Gospel dividing the Church. As such, you have not heeded his words. Christians casting harsh judgments, with condescension and arrogance is precisely why people hate us. And they are right to. You would be well to learn, and praise in it. You are a Christian, start acting like it.
I currently live in Europe, where since I'm an American, we routinely have conversations about how the US Democrats are further right than the right wing parties of my host country. Trans rights, motherfucker. Scratch a "centrist" and they start bitching about trans people like a typical far right bigot.
Hey guess what, there's trans people that think that too. So stop trying to turn women into men. We didn't choose to be born how we were. No amount of your fucking throwing us in male prisons, denying us medical care, and hate criming us for fun is going to make us into your perfect little male ideal.
Fuck off with your "trans ideology" bullshit. Other people existing that you don't like isn't an ideology. You're just an asshole.
I just can’t find it in my heart to be concerned about this.
I wouldn't be either if it wasn't for the fact that this shit always spread to other countries.
The USA is an expert in fucking over other countries directly or indirectly
at least those tranny’s can’t corrupt our kids.

The US produces most of its fertilizer locally, and most of the fertilizer it does import comes from Canada.
"No crops being planted" is just wrong: https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/article/2026/05/11/crop-progress-corn-57-planted-49-28

I'm hearing spikes in domestic costs for farmers here for one of the fertilizers used a lot. And smaller increases in some of the others.
And also we import a lot of food. So everyone affected, affects us.

Which is mostly what livestock feed is made from.
Spring wheat plantings expected at lowest since 1970.
That's 56 years ago. Just to put in context. And wheat is a big part of American diets. Also used in animal feed.
“No crops being planted.”

You could have stopped right there.
Thanks trump!
Eat shit Texas. The one star state... They took the "L".

I'm sure my neighbors will blame it on Kamala

Finally some good news.
Fuck that garbage and fuck their trash cuisine they can ask mexico for real food any time they like I'd much rather they starve
You don't like barbecue? Ribs, baked beans, potato salad mmmm. Ribs are about the only thing affordable anymore
Texas style is shit
Taste is subjective, and in your case there's obviously no accounting for it.
Those aren't centrists, yikes
Texas is really cooked isn't it

And anyone who places more weight in lies about transgender women being a risk to cisgender women over the wellbeing of transgender people is not a centrist.
So, are you lying for attention, or do you actually believe what you're saying?
You fundraise for TPUSA and you claim to be centrist?
You are delusional fascist, guy. That or you are playing the long troll.
I'm sure Jesus would be super proud of you.
Have you tried not being a fascist?
No amount of voting for Kamala brings you back to being a centrist after this admission.
I know you're immune to logic based on your previous replies, but if someone knows you're concealed carrying, you're not concealed carrying. If they do know, from the outside looking in, seems like tough guy behavior.

Lol right
this reads like something a TI would post.
You have to know it doesn't.
You are not centrist if you voted Trump. You are not centrist if you were even considering it.
You picked Mr Trump over Ms Clinton; or anyone else, for that matter? Hang your head, my dude. In a binary choice, I'd vote for a ham sandwich over Mr Trump.
You showed them!
one of us doesnt know what a centrist is, and i fucking hope its not me

Your religion is dying. Good riddance.
Your "personal Christian opinion" is not only wrong, but based on hateful ideology.
You literally just did you fucking liar
Christians, the ultimate delusional “feelings over facts” people, here to lecture us again what the “American Center” is.
Elsewhere in this thread, this MFer said TPUSA was the center.
I now understand gulags and re-education camps.
I currently live in Europe, where since I'm an American, we routinely have conversations about how the US Democrats are further right than the right wing parties of my host country. Trans rights, motherfucker. Scratch a "centrist" and they start bitching about trans people like a typical far right bigot.
Funny how quickly that "centrist" patina falls off
Wasn’t Eve created from a man though?
