Cindy Axne is a Democrat, Randy Feenstra is a Republican. They called the situation “dire.”
Press release from Congresswoman Cindy Axne, April 22, 2022:
“Today, Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03) and Rep. Randy Feenstra (IA-04) sent a letter to Surface Transportation Board (STB) Chairman Martin Oberman requesting that the Board take swift action to address the significant delays in rail shipments impacting agricultural goods… Last week a leading nitrogen fertilizer producer informed customers of delivery delays during the planting season due to volume restrictions on rail lines.”
On April 14 fertilizer giant CF Industries sent out the alarming press release which said:
““The timing of this action by [federally regulated] Union Pacific could not come at a worse time for farmers…Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all…jeopardizing farmers’ harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers.
For more on deliberately created coming food shortages see article below. In addition to mandated fertilizer stoppages, over two dozen major food processing plants in the US have been destroyed or heavily damaged by mysterious fires or accidents such as planes crashing into them. And due to what can only be called an insane and brutal “zero covid” lockdown in Shanghai, in which residents are pleading that they are starving in their apartments, the world’s largest shipping container port is frozen and not moving cargo, impacting supply chains around the world.
On March 24, 2022 Joe Biden spoke of “food shortages” saying “it’s going to be real.”

Do you really want to go down the path that there are no Biden policies in response to the worst supply chain crisis this country has seen in generations? Where indeed.Wait, I see supply chain issues, where are the Biden policies involved?
The drought in my area is so bad that farmers will have only 30 days of irrigation available to them this year. Fertilizers are the least of their worries.
Agree. Not a problem created by the Biden administration.Wait, I see supply chain issues, where are the Biden policies involved?
The supported and encouraged west coast seaport activities for container ships to 24 hours, 7 days a week. So now there are less container ships languishing off the west coast. But there are more containers sitting in the ports themselves waiting for transport.Do you really want to go down the path that there are no Biden policies in response to the worst supply chain crisis this country has seen in generations?

I don’t know how or why a single railroad company somehow consolidated the power to destroy the nation’s harvest, but we do have a department of transportation do we not? So what is the Biden Administration doing about this?
This is domestic product. The fertilizer is produced by CFI in Louisiana and distributed to farm country via Union Pacific rail. The problem is that Union Pacific notified CFI without warning that, effective immediately, it had to reduce rail traffic on its lines by ~20%. That means fertilizer won’t be distributed to our farmers so there will be a bad harvest this year and a food shortage.The supported and encouraged west coast seaport activities for container ships to 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Not sure that a fertilizer mandate is more than trying to keep rising energy prices from continuing to rise. Pick your poison time. No good options right now.
Ethanol = good in theory, bad in practice.I am amazed and shocked that Biden said there could be serious food shortages due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and then two weeks later goes to Iowa to support and promote ethanol additives to gas. I shake my head at thinking about how many people the corn going into ethanol can feed. Maybe the food shortage estimates are not truly as bad as Biden predicted.
