Katrina and Rita have had a dramatic impact on natural gas production,
an industry where US production had already peaked. This could mean a
cold winter for many US citizens this winter. But, what does it mean
for the supply and cost of fertilizer next growing season? And
consequently, food production?
Also, for a very informative perspective of the US natural gas industry

Continued escalation of input costs could make organic agriculture a
necessity rather than a choice.
