A farming crisis is affecting producers due to global supply disruptions. An Iowa farmer claims that domestic fertilizer companies are taking advantage of the situation by charging high prices. The farmer, who operates a large farm, has seen the cost of certain fertilizers more than double in recent times.

The price increase has significant implications for the farmer's operations, with the cost of fertilizer for a single crop reaching as high as $136,000. Federal regulators are investigating whether the price increases are the result of collusion among fertilizer companies. Further details on the investigation and the farming crisis are available from the source.
