1
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:01,768
Fuel and fertilizer.

2
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,537
The cost of them has spiked

3
00:00:03,604 --> 00:00:05,072
due to the war in Iran

4
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:06,073
that has disrupted

5
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:08,342
crude oil fields and transport

6
00:00:08,408 --> 00:00:09,009
as well as

7
00:00:09,076 --> 00:00:10,611
the export of fertilizer.

8
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:11,278
So what are your

9
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:12,179
farmer members saying

10
00:00:12,246 --> 00:00:13,847
about the price shocks

11
00:00:13,914 --> 00:00:14,948
happening right now?

12
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:17,184
Well, lots of concerns.

13
00:00:17,251 --> 00:00:18,519
Some of our members actually

14
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:19,520
were able to book

15
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:21,889
other inputs last fall.

16
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:23,190
So probably aren't

17
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:23,790
going to see that

18
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:24,491
sticker shock

19
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:25,158
this spring

20
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:26,460
like we are

21
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:27,594
amongst other members

22
00:00:27,661 --> 00:00:29,329
that don't have

23
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:30,564
the ability to

24
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:32,533
because of cash flow problems

25
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:33,100
by that.

26
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:34,935
So they're right now

27
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:36,170
probably examining

28
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:37,571
"Do we stay with corn

29
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:39,673
and need to put more nitrogen

30
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:40,941
on the ground?

31
00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:42,576
Or should we look at

32
00:00:42,643 --> 00:00:43,844
small grains crop?

33
00:00:43,911 --> 00:00:46,513
Or do we plant more soybeans?"

34
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:47,181
Just because of

35
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:48,782
that price of fertilizers

36
00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:49,816
has increased so much

37
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:52,352
in the last two weeks here.
