We can sell to the world, not give to the world. Also, we have plenty of fertilizer. It's just being held up somewhere. The largest phosphate mine in the world is not far south of me in eastern NC.
I didn't say anything about giving the crops away, I just said we grow more than enough here. I should have been clearer, I was really tired when I wrote that.I live in the heart of farm country.
Although I haven't done much digging into the fertilizer shortage (personal life has been hectic) I do agree that the shortage is manufactured.
