According (https://www.politico.com/…) to Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., financial relief for struggling farmers is one of the most likely policies to be stapled onto an Iran War funding bill. While most of the media has focused on the rising oil prices caused by the Iran War, farmers have noticed that fertilizer prices are spiking as well. Overall, fertilizer prices rose by a shocking 71% (https://www.agweb.com/…) in the 90-day period before and during the start of the conflict. The longer the War on Iran continues, the worse that the pain caused by these trade disruptions will get. The only way to end the high prices is to end the war.
