Fertilizer Shortage Grips Midwest Farmers
Midwest farmers face a critical fertilizer shortage as demand outstrips supply. Farmers Co operative Association manager Carvil Johnson at Fort Scott Kan reports tank and bag fertilizer runs dry. four country elevators also empty. Experts warn food prices may rise if crops lack feed, with production tied to Farmland Industries and Phillips Petroleum limits and river floods disrupting ammonia and phosphate transport. Johnson notes ongoing shipments are uncertain while farmers press dealers for any available material.
