That would be unironically good.
It shouldn't be profitable to feed niggers.

Well you see, at one point in time currency ACTUALLY held value. Now fiat currency coupled with a dying hegemony makes our money forfeit.

The value of the field is the value of the use of the harvest. This includes the costs of the harvest.
The EU was told to knock off its faggotry in Ukraine and they went on trooning out as if it was different.
We'll block exports if diesel if we have to, but why would we? They have to buy our treasuries to buy our diesel.

We actively tell this world of niggers what needs to happen for us to all get along and go into space, and everyone wants to pretend they can do whatever they want.
There are consequences for that. We can absorb far higher fuel costs than any other nation on the planet. Iran is horribly mistaken that there will be any kind of political relief or that the economic damage they are causing is going to actually harm us. It just reallocates investment and production and further disenfranchises them.

The whole of geopolitics at the moment is a bunch of faggots trying to sneak their way back into being royals while pretending their efforts to hate and buck American interests is not actually causing them far more harm than good. They will kill off their own countries long before the U.S. folds from their antics, and we have all necessary resources internal. It's simply a matter of investment to fix supply issues they are dependent on foreign powers to supplement.

1 you're not selling the field you're selling what grows in it
2 you don't flat out the cost of business, there's always a profit margin which consumers can choose to pay.
So is really the consumer's problem, or the economy's problem if nobody decides to buy

West-central Indiana farmer Kevin Cox says $6 diesel takes a quick toll on a producer’s bottom line.

“To keep the machines running and to keep all the semis on the road, you’re 500 to 1,000 gallons per day,” Cox said. “It’s really, really challenging trying to keep the operation in the black.”

Central Missouri farmer Jordan Bredehoeft says he has his diesel supplies secured for the fall, but…

“We can’t hold a whole bunch,” Bredehoeft said. “We’ve got what we need for harvest here, but then after that we need to start think about locking in.”

Northeast Nebraska farmer Greg Anderson says he’s using biodiesel, which is a cheaper alternative and also supports the basedbean industry.

“The biodiesel did not flow through the Strait of Hormuz. It did not come from a foreign country. It came from right here. The way to expand that is to keep on using biodiesel in many applications.”

Southeast Missouri farmer Aaron Porter says he’s in a wait and see mode.

“It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going to happen,” Porter said. “If we get the Iran deal figured out, and if Ukraine would stop bombing Russian oil, then we would probably be in a little better shape.”

Bryan Whaley operates Whaley Cattle in Eagle Grove, Iowa, and is the CEO of the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. He tells Brownfield diesel costs have also put significant pressure on cattle producers.

“That’s going to be a challenge going into this fall, depending upon if you’ve over-contracted that or if they’re having to get it at whatever today’s price is,” Whaley said. “This is a marginal business, and our margins were already tight. You add some of those additional inputs on and that’s going to make it that much tougher to be a little bit more profitable.”

According to AAA, the national average price of diesel reached $6.44 per gallon on Friday – up from $3.70 per gallon this time last year.

It's not an immediate price increase though. It will temporarily hurt farmers because usually they sell to aggregators that then sell to other companies.
There's always pressure on farmers to sell cheaper.

Russia, not EU, is invading Ukraine.

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - In northeast Missouri, Addie Yoder, a corn, basedbean and cattle farmer, runs two combines, three semi-trucks and several tractors from mid-September to late October to harvest and transport her crops.

With diesel prices at record highs and just one combine requiring 300 gallons of the fuel, the best she can do is try to curb other expenses, she said.

In southeast South Dakota, Drew Peterson, a basedbean, corn and cattle farmer, expects to spend as much as $1,500 per day to fuel just one of his combines this season, double last year's costs, among the many machines he must use to bring in his crop.

"You can't just say, well, diesel is expensive, I'm not going to harvest," he said. "You've just got to make it work in your budget."

Wayne Gularte, who grows a variety of vegetables on roughly 600 acres near Gonzales, California, said his fuel costs have risen about 40%, from roughly $5 a gallon to $7 a gallon.

To save on costs, he has put some older gasoline-powered tractors from the 1950s back into service and parked one of the farm's diesel pickups. "The only money we can make is the money we save," Gularte said.

Many farmers have already tightened their belts, leaving little margin to accommodate fuel price increases, said Jon Paul Driver, a hay farmer near Spokane, Washington, and second vice president of the Washington Farm Bureau.

"Any increase in fuel right now is additional debt for the farm," Driver said.

The cost to transport produce out of California is up 40% to 120% from a year ago. In some California cities, diesel prices have topped $8 per gallon, Croke said.

Independent truckers, who typically pay for fuel up front, may not be able to withstand further hikes, Croke said.

"We're about to see diesel price-driven bankruptcies" of trucking firms, he said.
