Leftists want to bring down the USA economy to accomplish their "great reset". Its just one more restriction designed to further their ends.

👍🏻Got it.

Union Pacific has more than enough infrastructure to handle this extra work. They have done it in the past.
Today they refuse to hire the extra labor to do the work.

Union Pacific is afraid that its ESG score is too low.

Jim Taggert isn't the one running Union Pacific; now we are past that. Cuffy Meigs is running Union Pacific.

We all should be. If we had leadership they would call Newsome and order him to release water to irrigate in the commie state of Kaliphonia

Did I say they (meaning Union Pacific)are playing the Great Reset? Nope
It is true the deep state is pushing for the Great Reset. Yes

China also has been purchasing US farmland
Let’s go Branden ,let’s go Gates , let’s go CCP.

You are spot on my friend.In 1967 The C_A pushed the conspiracy theory label along with tinfoil hats to quell discussions of JFK’s murder. It was very effective. People who think all this schiff happening is by happenstance need to wear tinfoil hats.

He needs a cobra for a necktie.

Buffet owns Burlington Northern and I have read that his revenues from shipping oil is in the $5 billion area.

If the fertilizer issue isn't resolved (and I'm not so sure other vital chemicals might also be short of needs), and there's no fall back plan or alternatives, crop yields will take a dramatic hit. Unlike other enterprises, once the time to fertilize passes, there's no way to recover the crop yield, and we're going to revisit those lower numbers you refer to, if we're lucky. I personally think the result could be catastrophic, as the big farms are addicted to only one way to function, and we could see some fields yielding nothing.

Just like every other industry in this country, the small players have been pushed out of farming and ranching, and we're left with the "too big to fail" crowd. Look for a call for big bailouts of the failing superfarms if things don't go well. That will keep some from going under, but won't do a thing to recover the food supply for either the domestic or overseas markets.

Rail systems are the second biggest movers of goods (with waterborne traffic at the top) in this country. If they want to make more money they need to move more goods, not restrict them, as your cherry picked lines from the article imply. Adding more equipment and manpower doesn't sound like they're trying to restrict anything, so claiming they're helping play the great reset game doesn't hold water.

ThanQ

The question about quantity of human losses in Ukraine from Holodomor remains open. Most part of researchers advocate the number of victims over 7 million people in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and 3 million of Ukrainians in other regions of the USSR: the Kuban, the Central Black Earth region, the Volga region and Kazakhstan.

Certain historical circumstances made calculations complicated, and even more complicated – to establish the names of those who were killed. The Soviet government did everything possible to hide the consequences of their crime. On places, it was forbidden to record the actual number of deaths. These days the secret list of some village councils with list of deaths in 1932-1933 revealed. These lists are twice higher than the official data. It is totally clear that such cases were not rare. There was a ban to record as the cause of death “hunger”, that is why in the death acts list noted “from typhoid”, “exhaustion”, “of old age.” In 1934 all the registry office books about deaths registration were transferred to a special department of GPU. Ukrainians died out in families, villages, and not always the records were held. The level of unreported deaths is unknown, but it is clear that millions died.

The Soviet Union convinced the international community “not to see” the mass murder of Ukrainians by means of propaganda, bribes of certain journalists. However, there were journalists who wrote the truth, the reports of ambassadors and diplomats are preserved. The regime took some steps to erase the memory about the murder of more than 7 million of Ukrainians. But the memory of the people is invincible, and with the formation of Ukraine’s independence the ban to talk about the Holodomor was thwarted.

It would seem that UP railroad could prioritize fertilizer shipments during the spring planting season. Also by shutting down pipelines and transporting oil by rail the capacity has been artificially constrained, I am sure like Buffett cashing in on billions with Bn railroads transporting oil, UP is likely supporting the Buydems ignorant policies?
As interesting as your ancestors farming history is it is antidotal and not relevant to today. Of course managing soil is important , most farmers I know use tiling and crop rotation among other techniques to maximize yields.
Typical corn yields in the US averaged between 25-35 bushels per acre from 1866- 1936. By 1955 the yields had climbed to about 43 bushels per acre. From 1955- to present yields have climbed steadily to about 180 bushels per acre. If your Great Grandfather farmed into the 70’s the average yield was about 80 bushels still less than half of today’s yields.. farmers today are not stupid generally speaking , the economics for them are much more complex. Since your Great Grandfather farmed The world added at least a couple billion more mouths to feed. Thank goodness for fertilizer.

This is what I came across on the subject:

From the comments:
Globalist investment company BlackRock is the largest asset management company on the planet with over $9 trillion in assets. They and Vanguard Group (You know the Vanguard that is part of trying to block Elon Musk from buying Twitter) are the biggest shareholders of CF Industries Holdings Inc mentioned in this article.

BlackRock and Vanguard are also the largest shareholders of the Union Pacific railroad...
BlackRock is buying up tens of thousands of single family dwelling homes in America. Paying up to 20% more buying up entire new neighborhood developments making them Single Family Rentals. Also pricing homes out of the reach of many. BlackRock a leading proponent of the Global Reset is doing this. They're Federal Reserve Funded doing this...your tax dollars...

Oil and gas pipelines got shut down so it has to be hauled by trucks or rail. Not sure if it is Warren Buffett or Steve Forbes who holds those rail contracts. Ad together the high costs of fuel and fertilizer and then multiply it by shortages because of transportation and the farmers are losing on every front while Bill Gates and China are buying up all the farm lands that go bankrupt.

Fertilizer is a neccessity for commercial farming.

But mankind grew a lot of food before commercial farming became the way we all eat. Every free citizen owes it to themselves to learn how to grow a personal garden. You may not become food independent, but you may. Manure may not be a fix all for fertilizer needs, but I grew up on a farm where we grew our own food, and manure from the cattle was used to supplement the soil every year. That, and crop rotation did a lot to maintain soil quality. Letting a field rest for a season and grow wild helps also.

There is too much information available to all of us to learn to grow food for there to be a danger of food shortages. Several free thinking writers suggest "guerilla gardens" when you do not own land to grow.

No mistake, fertilizer restrictions are part of the plan to starve all those that they can. And induce the world to eat only government-issued GMO soylent green food one day. Just wait. Various governmental agencies have openly challenged the safety of wild game as food, especially since they "proved" that deer and other wildlife carry and transmit COVID. I expect a public health declaration one day to outlaw wild game for food. And the government will exterminate the herds, except for a few left in zoos. And when hunting is no longer an acceptable source of food, then what will become of guns? Just one more brick in the wall to eventually outlaw guns as well. Regardless of your personal feelings on guns, the potential loss of freedoms should concern you.

If we do not move as a people to take legal action to protect our liberties, then we had damned well better prepare for the fallout that will come when they are absent. Perhaps it is all just a matter of time and inevitable- but even if so, prepare and grow food wherever you can. Because you all realize, ignoring these events will not make it go away, and if left to their own devices, many of those responsible would rather see us dead and enslaved.

Yep, I am aware that sounds like a conspiracy nut talking. I think the stakes are high enough and maybe I am just old enough now that I don't care anymore. Take care, all of you.

Look at the failed mayor turned transportation Secretary Pete Butthurts he spent 2-3 months on maternity leave with his gay activist indoctrinator partner.

Anything to make it difficuld for the small farm. The large farm companies are in an all out secret acquisition of American farmland. They buy up small farms and lease them out. When enough contiguous and nearby farms are acquired the remove all old structures and bring the roving farm squad to do the big scale farming. It's happening in a rural community near you... Now!

Why is transportation of fertilizer suddenly a problem this year? I've read that shipment of materials needed for the production of DEF fluid are also being restricted. Without DEF, trucks won't roll either. If there were adequate transportation means before, why not now? Something's not right.

This is not a case of Union Pacific as the villain, but a problem of capacity for trying to catch up with supply chain problems across the board. If anyone bothered to actually read the whole article, Union Pacific is adding 100 locomotives and 450 additional crew to address the issue, but until they can reach that capacity, they have to prioritize across a number of customers.

The big problem with fertilizer guzzlers is that no one engages in serious crop rotation, which is a method of restoring nitrogen back to the soil without excessive use of fertilizer. Soybeans are a great way to restore nitrogen, by plowing under the vines after the crop is harvested. My great grandfather in North Carolina was a master of crop rotation and contour farming, producing huge crops without the use of any artificial fertilizer.

Composting of the right kind of crop residuals is a better way to restore health and nutrients to the soil than manure. Large scale composting should be given serious support.

Seems to me that they just keep engineering one problem after another. Disease, Shortages and now Famine. Each one causing more and more inflation. All while dumbing down the education system to the point that I as a teacher am little more than a babysitter for teenagers.

I am at a loss for words. How much more before we say enough.
