Fertilizer shock is here—and worse than reported.

🇧🇩 Bangladesh has 5 of 6 urea plants offline.
🇨🇳 China’s export bans run through Aug 2026.
1/3 of global fertilizer flows through Hormuz.
Urea already +40%.
The 6-month food crisis lag?

I am wondering if this will impact the price of Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
DEF is mandatory for modern (2010 and later in the USA) on-road diesel vehicles.
It is comprised of 32.5% Urea and 67.5% purified water.
It is used to decompose nitrogen oxides into nitrogen gas and water vapor.
All of a sudden, anything shipped by truck becomes that much more expensive…

Good thing my 92 7.3 IDI can run on used oil and ATF
Planting the existing raised beds this weekend and adding four more. I use fish emulsion for fertilizer.
