Another example of too much too soon. A three year program to gradually go to regenerative agriculture would have cut imports of fertilizer by half and improved the soil. Some fertilizer will always be needed in high erosion areas, but the cost must be controlled. Meantime feed stock for ammonia and nitrate production will be available with off shore natural gas, after necessary infrastructure is built.
