About this episode
Damian Mason discusses the urgent issues surrounding fertilizer supply in American agriculture with guest Josh Linville.
Fertilizer supply remains one of the most urgent issues facing American agriculture. From trade disruptions and Covid-era shutdowns to geopolitical conflict and reliance on imports from hostile regions, farmers are once again confronting uncertainty around fertilizer availability, pricing, and production. In this episode of The Business of Agriculture, Damian Mason speaks with Josh Linville, Vice President of Fertilizer at StoneX, about the current fertilizer marketplace and what comes next. They examine whether the United States can re-shore fertilizer production, the capital required to expand domestic capacity, the role of global supply chains, and whether fertilizer manufacturers are limiting output. This timely conversation explores fertilizer shortages, input costs, crop yield risk, and what the fertilizer fight means for farmers, agribusiness, and the future of U.S. farm productivity.
