Farmers across the United States are facing a growing crisis as fertiliser and fuel costs surge during peak planting season. The spike comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—a critical route for global oil and fertiliser shipments.<br /><br />In North Carolina, farmer Russell Hedrick says diesel prices have nearly doubled, making it significantly more expensive to operate machinery during planting season. Fertiliser prices have also surged by around 50%, forcing many farmers to cut usage — a move that could reduce crop yields and impact food supply.<br /><br />Delays in shipments and rising input costs are creating uncertainty across the agricultural sector. Farmer Andy Corriher warns that the effects are being felt not just by farmers, but by consumers nationwide.<br /><br />The crisis highlights how global conflicts — including tensions involving Iran — are directly impacting everyday livelihoods thousands of miles away.<br /><br />Will this lead to higher food prices? And how long can farmers sustain these rising costs?
