Nitrogen Supplies and Diesel Necessary for Spring Planting Are Being Delayed— On Purpose?

Food and Diesel Emergency

“CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF), a leading global manufacturer of hydrogen and nitrogen products, today informed customers it serves by Union Pacific rail lines that railroad-mandated shipping reductions would result in nitrogen fertilizer shipment delays during the spring application season and that it would be unable to accept new rail sales involving Union Pacific for the foreseeable future. The Company understands that it is one of only 30 companies to face these restrictions. ...”

“ CF Industries ships to customers via Union Pacific rail lines primarily from its Donaldsonville Complex in Louisiana and its Port Neal Complex in Iowa. The rail lines serve key agricultural areas such as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas and California. Products that will be affected include nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) as well as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), an emissions control product required for diesel trucks. CF Industries is the largest producer of urea, UAN and DEF in North America, and its Donaldsonville Complex is the largest single production facility for the products in North America.”

I would like to know WHO exactly ordered these “restrictions”/“railroad- mandated - shipping reductions” and WHY?

The above article was referenced in an article published out of Austin, Texas and whose website begins with an “I”.

Here’s another source saying that deliveries will be cut.

“ If we do not see reductions to the operating inventory through their voluntary efforts, then we will begin metering traffic after April 18th,” Union Pacific added.” ...

“ The STB has summoned rail executives for an April 26 and 27 hearing to address the issues.

And it’s not just grain and fertilizer being affected. A trade association of ethanol producers recently complained that manifest and unit transportation delays of between 2 and 12 days have been suffered, while West Virginia coal producers have complained there aren’t enough rail cars to ship thermal or metallurgical coal at all.”

I am a farmer in the SE and I can tell you that on Friday my supplier for liquid nitrogen fertilizer (UAN) said that things are very tight on liquid, dry not so much, but very expensive. Chemicals are hit or miss- big customers can get what they need but little guys maybe not. No diesel shortage, just expensive. Parts for equipment are another story, couldn't replace opening disks on a planter this year because of global shortage of this particular, very common, model. Running last years junk again this year. Many common combine parts are hard to get. Biggest problem is labor, can't get anybody to work.

Worm casings. Best fertilizer in existence. Mulch around plants with lawn cuttings and waste leftover veggies from your kitchen. Another one.

Horse manure, drive out of town and get some.

We're planting our garden no problem.

its acidic

It's natural.

It works.
