Richard Ha found an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal regarding the rising prices of Fertilizer. Here is an interesting quote:
Fertilizer prices are rising faster than those of almost any other raw material used by farmers. In April, farmers paid 65% more for fertilizer than they did a year earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That compares with price increases of 43% for fuel, 30% for seeds and 3.8% for chemicals such as weedkillers and insecticides over the same period, according to Agriculture Department indexes.

Lower your expectations and be ready for anything.
