Iowa corn fields look anemic compared to most of the years that I've lived here.

Ethanol corn growers rely on a crap ton of fertilizer to get the yield that they normally do and local news has been all over the stories of "there's no fertilizer available" or "fertilizer is so expensive..." Followed by gloom and doom, we will default on loans, we'll lose the farm, etc.
