Talk Dirt to Me

Ep. 234: Fertilizer Crisis Explodes and Farmers Say the Numbers Are Wrong


Listen Later

In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we cover a little bit of everything and then dive headfirst into one of the biggest issues in agriculture right now.

We start off with our top 5 comedy movies of all time, which turns into a solid mix of classics and a few surprises. From there, Bobby Lee shares a wild story involving a Department of Homeland Security phone call about possible drug smuggling, and it is every bit as crazy as it sounds.

We also give a full update on planting season and how things are shaping up here in West Tennessee. We are running way ahead of schedule this year, which is not something we are used to, and we talk about what that could mean moving forward.

The biggest conversation in this episode centers around the fertilizer situation. The fertilizer crisis is getting worse, prices are still brutal, and availability is a real concern. We break down the latest poll results from the American Farm Bureau and compare them to Brooke Rollins' numbers on how many farmers supposedly pre booked fertilizer. The two do not line up at all, and from where we sit, the reality on the ground tells a very different story.

If you want real insight from farmers dealing with rising input costs, tight margins, and uncertainty heading into the growing season, this episode delivers it straight.
