One should try for the original source or earliest working source.
I understand not using [1] as the site doesn't play well with older browsers - line 923 of source code for me.
Alternatively [2] and [3] are a couple weeks earlier.
The trouble due to interruption of regular shipping seems amplified in regard to fuel (representing just 20%) but 40 to 50 % [4] for shipped urea around the globe really does put a squeeze on food and crop production. It means that farmers will look for cheaper options if they're replanting and if they really want to spend the fuel to prepare for a new crop. Crops ready to harvest, or require fuel to irrigate, it's just the burden of extra fuel cost -- so from a simple point of view, immediate food related issues shouldn't be knocking on the door, but rather a few months time. However some crops don't have high profit margins, unless contracted, fuels costs might see some crops stay where they are.
