The biggest warehouse for fertilizers has been blown up.
That's the thing about fertilizers- they are chock full of nitrates to provide nitrogen to the plants, and those nitrates go up like gangbusters under the wrong conditions.
Fertilizers are really a part of the problem with production of food here - fertilizer prices have gone up almost 400% this year, and that has priced some farmers out of production. The ones that haven't been run out of business are going to have to charge much more after the fall harvest for their produce in order just to break even. That, combined with skyrocketing fuel prices to get it into the stores means that we are most likely going to be hit with some mega-inflation in food prices this fall.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
