    "summary": "The speaker, Josh Linville of StoneX, asserts that global tensions, such as those impacting the Strait of Hormuz, will continue to affect fertilizer prices into 2027. He emphasizes that significant damage has been done to the supply chain since February 28th, making a quick return to normal prices impossible. Tight inventories, especially for anhydrous ammonia, and increasing demand for nitrogen due to anticipated corn acres in 2027 are expected to keep prices elevated, reflecting an imbalance where supply is too tight and demand is too high.",

  "transcript": "Josh, let's dive right into things because as the Strait of Hormuz moves, as we continue to see these tensions happen, you know, headlines change every day. But do you think this is going to continue to impact fertilizer prices as we head into 2027? I think even if we solve the Strait of Hormuz right now, everything went back to normal, vessel traffic, peace, all those fun things, I think we're still talking about this story spring of 2027. I don't think farmers are getting out of this. Could it re-price some of these high prices? Yes. Is it going to solve it back to what we thought was normal? Absolutely not. We've done too much damage for too long. This has been going on since February 28th. You don't undo that kind of damage overnight. Let's talk about anhydrous ammonia. That's a, I mean, I'm getting a lot of questions from farmers, especially here in Missouri, what's going to happen. So we're hearing that inventories are tight, Josh. Are they, are they tight all over and do you see any relief when it comes to anhydrous ammonia as farmers are looking at what to price this fall? If there's relief, it's because our fall application season just didn't happen. And that's a problem in itself, right? So we started this fertilizer year. We started July 1st. We started at about as low as we can remember in recent times. That's bad. It was bad enough that one of the manufacturers when they came out with their programs, didn't even have a summer fill. That tells you they only had enough to fill their own system. So we started tight. We think the demand has gone up. You start to look at next year. Now, is $5 corn on new crop good? It's better than $4.25. It's not as good as $5.50 was when we hit the high. But it has improved from that low. So we are building corn acres in 2027. That brings nitrogen demand with it. So you combine all that, that's why we're seeing products so tight. That's why we're seeing prices so high. The manufacturers are saying, listen, the S&D is out of balance. Everything goes back to Econ 101, guys. Supply demand. Supplies are too tight, demand is too high. You can't fix supply, you destroy demand with higher prices.",
