:*{{quotebox-float|The Mosaic Company here in Florida. Today, October 5th at 9 am we were notified that effective today, the South Fort Meade Mine will cease all operations. Therefore all phosphate mining at that mine will be shut down. ...The reason why they are suspending operations is the high price and lack of sulfur….the main driver. Also affecting our production and operations at the mines are high [[diesel]] prices. Couple that with high [[fertilizer]] prizes, due to high sulfur and diesel prices, that farmers are no longer able to or willing to pay, high [[tariff]]s, and now also [[Trump]] removing import bans of [[Belarus]]ian [[potash]] and Russian and Moroccan fertilizer; which are much cheaper than what we can produce at the moment}}

:::*"[[Belarus]] just sent the [[US]] 30,000 tons of [[potash]] after the US lifted some [[economic sanctions|sanctions]] and returned some frozen funds. This follows [[Trump]] boasting about the “massive” potash deal that he and [[Lukashenko]] are [[negotiating]]"
::::Note: This is a good textbook example of [[economic sanctions]] screwing [[American]] workers and American jobs.
:*According to the [[USDA]], only 30% of the U.S. winter [[wheat]] crop was rated in good or excellent condition in early June 2026, down from 49% at the same point a year earlier, as the harvest got underway...That’s a collapse in one of the country’s most essential crops, unfolding at the same moment that [[fertilizer]] prices have surged to their highest level in years and a single shipping corridor has thrown global food supply into crisis.
