OMAHA, NE (KELO.c0m) — The Iran war is sending shock waves that are being felt in South Dakota. Iran has closed off shipping in the Straight of Hormuz, giving it a choke hold on oil and fertilizer shipments. Creighton University Economist Ernie Goss says that’s changing the outlook for the growing season. Commodity prices remain low, but the impact of the war is caused a spike in fuel and fertilizer prices. Farmers say higher input costs could be offset by timely rains and a good crop.
