The nitrogen market is shifting — fast. Global volatility, rising fertilizer prices, and supply chain uncertainty have left Western Canadian farmers paying some of the highest input costs in the world. In this episode, Rob Saik sits down with Derek Penner, CEO of Genesis Fertilizers, to unpack how a multi-billion-dollar, farmer-owned fertilizer plant could change the game.
They discuss:
- Why fertilizer prices have skyrocketed — and may stay high
- How farmers can gain equity and control in fertilizer production
- The economics, governance, and long-term vision behind Genesis Fertilizers
- What government and strategic support could mean for the project’s future
If you’re a farmer thinking about your long-term input costs — or how to invest directly in agriculture’s future — this is a must-listen.
