## Resource

Farmers in South Carolina are facing a planting crisis as fertilizer prices soar due to global supply chain disruptions tied to uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz. Once expected to drop, fertilizer costs have skyrocketed, leaving fields bare and forcing some growers to skip planting entirely—especially with drought conditions adding pressure. The ripple effects extend beyond crops, threatening higher prices for eggs, meat, and dairy as animal feed costs climb too. With no clear resolution on shipping lanes, this economic squeeze shows no signs of easing anytime soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
