Fertilizer Crisis Linked to Iran Conflict

Fertilizer prices are skyrocketing—up 40% in just three months—thanks to a blocked Strait of Hormuz disrupting global supply. Farmers face crushing costs, with some paying extra $50 per acre, forcing tough planting decisions. The ripple effect means higher prices for everything from corn and strawberries to beef and pork.
