| While I don't believe the tariffs have done anything to help agriculture it's just a part of the issue happening right now. Things have become very consolidated and only a few companies control the majority of the fertilizer supply. It's far more of world market and products go to the highest bidder.
That said, with all the talk about high inputs, I don't hear much if any about lowering the single largest input cost for most growers--land rent and/or prices. In many area's that has doubled in the last ten years, very little else has come close to increasing on a percentage basis as land costs. That increase is a direct result of growers themselves.
