"The US-Israel war on Iran is delivering a double blow to Australian farmers,
who are being hit by the spike in diesel prices as well as an equally severe
surge in the price of fertiliser.
Soaring fuel costs are hurting almost every business and household but growers
are now making decisions about planting that will affect the size of their
crops come harvest time.
So why are we experiencing this fertiliser squeeze, how much worse could it
get, and what does it all mean for farmers and the price of food?"
