DShomshak Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I listen to the public radio program Marketplace. Every day, host Kai Ryssdahl ends with a small, random bit of business/economics news. Today, it was that the global supply chain clogs also affect farmers: They cannot obtain all the chemical fertilizer they want, at the time they want, at the time they want it. So farmers are going old-school, substitution natural fertilizer. But that surge in demand results in a secondary shortage... of manure. "You can't make this stuff up," Mr Ryssdahl says. (Insert your own jokes here.) Actually, I suspect there is not really a shortage of poo. (More jokes.) But there might be a shortage of facilities to collect, process and distribute it as field-usable manure. (Still more jokes.) Dean Shomshak .)
