To everyone new to fertilizer markets. Reason why prices are high, here are the highlights: Urea - European production at 75% UAN - Russian exports low/European production at 75% NH3 - Russia/Europe Phosphate - Chinese exports low Potash - it is actually decently priced This is a global thing, not just one country...

Someone just paid $35 for 3.5 gallons at a gas station in Orlando — nearly $9–$10 a gallon. They didn’t check the price because they assumed it was the same as everywhere else… big mistake. Some stations are charging triple what others do. How much is gas where you’re at? And would you have caught this before pumping? 👀⛽️ Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@cfarms76 Ran that motor in this 05 980000+miles. 3 injectors and 3 oil coolers is all we had to do to it. It was set at 525 hp. That the best running truck I ever drove.

@74Booger I’d say you have a bad valve seat in it. Have had a few in my career do that.

Either I screwed up or the rebuild kit was a waste if time and money. Looks like next rainy spell I'm just going to get a knew valve.

But but but they are the supposed to be awesome like deeres. Knock a Westfield or mayrath all you want but I’ve had this happen and seen this happen and they are just fine afterwards. I’ve seen a Mayrath literally laying on the roof sheets and it picked up and was fine.

@MaxROIFarmer It applies in IL for the federal hazmat but you still have to follow DOT regulations. No different than ag exemption while hauling oversized. Still have to follow flagging and marking but not get a permit.

Random question that just occurred to me. If you are pulling a Hazmat placard trailer(fuel tender). Are you required to stop at railroad crossings like a fuel truck would be?

@_TheMizzouTiger @Srm67 We run a tight ship. Every square inch is under camera and saved 60 days on hard drive. When we are shipping hard we inventory twice a week. When slow once a week. We ship in 14 states. Customers get what they pay for.

@_TheMizzouTiger @Srm67 I haven’t been able to buy any supply from CF, Nutrien or other since end of September. Just found out Nutrien had to buy 6000 more tons over the 28000 tons for the Missouri territories to cover their late sales this past week. Guarantee that wasn’t cheap. I’d jump at that $750
