China still needs the go juice, though. We'll see if there will be tankers coming out of the Straits headed for China, loaded with Saudi or Iraqi or Kuwaiti crude. Uncle Sam says he's shutting down shipments from Iran. We'll see what happens, I ...

Currently, farmers are paying $600+/ton for nitrogen - compare to $350/ton 3 months ago. Diesel now @ $7/gallon, was $4/gal a few months ago. Pretty much everything is going to be more expensive, everywhere.
