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}}
