My family farms.

Was talking to my cousin at church Sunday and he said the price of fertilizer has more than doubled from last year and thats if he can even get it. He works for a huge company who plants and test seed in this area and they still have not been able to get their seed or fertilizer in for the season yet. Not that is matters much since they have been waiting for months for combine, tractor and planter parts to come in.

My uncle is not planting corn this year, too expensive and doesnt think he can even get it in.

For the first time in our farms 129-year history I made the decision the rent out the open ground. I found an individual who was willing to pay for the rent up front. That's the only way I'd do it.
The numbers are too scary and with the uncertainty of the economy I couldn't risk it.

Saw this on the Twitter last week. Numbers are probably much worse today...

Yup. Oil up over $130 today

My son just filled 4 gas cans this morning in Fort Wayne at $3.98 and as soon as he finished the price bumped to $4.38

I predict the problem will go from high prices to trying to find gas available.

And remember how that 89.9 per gallon was outrageous as 32.9 per gallon was not that far in the past.

That`s what you call a "Mean Tweet "
That one hurts .............and we all know who owns it .

They might reconfigure the gas pumps to show PINTS ... so $8/gal becomes .999/Pint

Biden announces ban on Russian oil and gas imports, preparing Americans for 'Putin's price hike' and rising costs at the pump

The US announced it will ban Russian energy imports, including Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal.

Yes,a bit over an hour ago. Officially we banned all Russian oil,gas,natural gas,and coal imports.

Biden said the ban will have a negative impact in the US and called it "Putin's price hike."

Jimmy Carter's dream of the Metric system may come true. Remember when gas went over $1.00 and the old pumps could not reflect that high of a price per gallon?

Made a quick run into Illinois today gas at $4.599. Jim.

Electric heat is actually the most efficient means to heat with. 100% of the heat goes into the conditioned space and none up the flue. It's just insanely expensive to do so.

We're both right. You are absolutely correct about thermal efficiency and I was talking about economic efficiency, dollars per btu delivered

Well I guess we should be thanking brandon cause republicans are going to dominate in nov after gas hits 7$ nationally.

I would say don't hold your breathe.....democrats have become a very strange people. They will most likely all complain that gas is not high enough and vote even more democrats in. We have some right here that will never believe Biden had anything to do with cost of gas. Thats what they are being told and they will believe it. Biden also lied today saying its Russian Ukraine invasion causing gas prices to go up, and America is producing more gas than anytime in history. The entire world can google and see he is a liar. Records were set under Trump and gas production slowed and is still slowing since Biden took office. Not a single democrat will believe that though. We are living in strange times.

But remember this isn’t the presidents fault. He can’t do anything to affect these numbers. Nope.

 

[PRasko]

Man i sure am glad i filled all my gas cans and vehicles when it was 329 a gallon. I only have to leave my house once a month to grocery shop, ill feel it there after a while, but gas prices won’t directly hit me for 4-5 months yet.

Another out of touch celeb, that doesn't realize that...
1. The electric grid can't support everyone having an EV
2. The cost of EVs would skyrocket because of everyone trying to buy one... if they could.
3. The cost of EVs would skyrocket because all the part that are oil byproducts.. such as all that plastic.
3. The cost of EVs would skyrocket because of the inflation. Parts go up. Labor goes up. Car goes up.
4. Does he think EVERYONE can afford to go out an buy a new car, whether it's gas or electric?
5. How many EVs does he think there are on lots? Pretty sure it's not enough to replace all gas cars.
