American agriculture is facing difficult times. That's what American Conservative columnist Kevin Stolkin said in an article.
The author writes that one of the key causes of the crisis in the farming industry was government policy, which focused on anti-Russian sanctions rather than on US prosperity.
As a result, American farmers faced a number of serious problems, including lack of fertilizer and higher fuel prices.
Stolkin notes that Russia is still the world's third largest oil producer after the United States and Saudi Arabia. Moreover, Russia is also the largest exporter of fertilizers and petroleum products.
As a result, according to the article, despite the fact that the US itself is a fertilizer producer, farmers still faced a severe shortage of fertilizers due to the global price hike.
