As the cost of food skyrockets for many reasons, including shortages, the cost of inputs to industrial food production are coming under stress. A 30% rise in a year is serious, 100% in a week is a mania, or major panic.

We have been waiting for the other shoe to drop in so many areas, when they all do, we could be killed by a shoe shower.

			recently from $193/tonne a year ago to $266 a month ago, and in a 
			week it’s gone to $511/tonne. It’s madness and you have to wonder 
			how much speculation as with oil, and price gouging due to the dairy 
			bonanza. </SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyleblock.co.nz/articles/news/01_superphosphate.htm"><SPAN lang="EN-AU">World demand you would think could not be the sole cause 
but with the new call for a massive increase in world food production – then 
like oil, we will see even higher prices and more speculation.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyleblock.co.nz/articles/news/01_superphosphate.htm"><SPAN lang="EN-AU">There’s nothing lifestyle farmers can do about the price 
of Super – other than to stop using it. This is not a realistic option as 
Phosphorous (P) is a major plant nutrient and New Zealand soils are particularly 
short of it. The simple rule is that you have to replace the P (and other 
nutrients) that you take out of the soil.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifestyleblock.co.nz/articles/news/01_superphosphate.htm"><SPAN lang="EN-AU">The new concept of a “nutrient budget” is very important 
to check what’s applied, what is used for animal and crop production and hence 
what may be wasted.</SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B9A67E95-B78D-4E1E-AF95-8C6712DC338E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
