California farmers concerned over fertilizer shortage as Iran war disrupts shipments ...Middle East

The fears of shortages come at a critical time for California farmers, who are about a month ahead of schedule for spring planting because of recent warmer weather.

"This whole Iran conflict has changed the whole fertilizer dynamics," Klingler said. "A large percentage of fertilizer components come from that area."

Shipments are stuck in the Persian Gulf as a result of Iran blocking shipping lanes at the Strait of Hormuz.

"Ninety-five percent of the fertilizer used in growing those crops moves through and is imported through the port of Stockton," DeJesus said. 

"The production's still there. The supply is still there. Getting it from there to here is where the difficulty lies," DeJesus said.

"You hate to run out," Klingler said. "You've got a lot of money invested in the crop."
