"Texas Paul" made two important points on his podcast this week...1)the oil tankers that made it through the Strait of Hormuz are finally making it into American ports...but they are the LAST of the shipments that will arrive until the Strait is reopened, and then it will be another 45-60 days before those tankers reach US ports. In between is a whole lot of time without oil delilveries. Costs will rise for all sorts of things, beyond just oil and gas! 2) Similarly, the last shipments of fertilizer have reached port...and even if more shipments are released in the coming weeks, you CANNOT plant spring crops in the summer! Once you miss the planting window, it's gone for this year. Expect that crops will receive less than optimal fertilizer, if any, which will reduce harvests...thus increasing the cost of foodstuffs. Plant a garden now, if you can...
