Food-culture extremes reverberate back to farm

The absurdity of our civilization’s extreme relationship with food hit me like a runaway snowboard the other night while watching the Ozempic Olympics in between commercials advertising pizza and french fries. The relentless marketing, alternately promoting weight-loss support and foods that lean towards making us fat, isn’t aimed at the elite winter athletes strutting their stuff on the world stage in Italy. It’s a safe bet they didn’t achieve the peak of human fitness on a diet of pizza and french fries. It’s equally doubtful they require injections of the GLP-1 class of drugs to help manage their weight. These athletes deserve our admiration and respect, but to be fair to the rest of us, most working stiffs don’t have the time, drive or resources to devote full-time to the pursuit of extreme fitness. No, those commercials are aimed at the couch potatoes back home, subjecting us to both temptation and a shortcut to redemption as we bear witness to these feats of human endurance.

Mark Thompson, Nutrien’s chief financial officer, said demand for potash is expected to grow in 2026 for the fourth consecutive year. “We’ve seen good engagement across all major markets, with most benchmark prices approximately 20 per cent higher compared to 12 months ago. We anticipate relatively tight fundamentals through 2026, as trend line demand growth is testing existing global operating and supply chain capabilities,” he said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call on Thursday. Nutrien said it expects potash sales volumes to come in between 14.1 million tonnes and 14.8 million tonnes this year. Meanwhile, Thompson said nitrogen markets are seeing issues with tight supply while demand is poised to grow amid rising usage in Asian and Latin American markets. The company expects nitrogen sales volumes to come in between 9.2 and 9.7 million tonnes in 2026. Th
