Like I said, you're a idiot
LOL you're the idiot TruthNNuts.
If TruthNNuts was honest, he's say Trump is saving the planet...
Globally, nitrogen use efficiency is 46%, but the ratio should be much closer to 100%, said environmental scientist Xin Zhang at the University of Maryland, who led the latest study. The crops with the lowest nitrogen efficiency are fruits and vegetables, at around 14%, said Zhang. In contrast, soybeans, which are natural nitrogen fixers, have a high efficiency of 80%.
Approximately 10% of the world's nitrogen based fertilizer comes through the Persian Gulf That supply line has been severed.
Just a 10% decrease in nitrogen fertilizer led to only a 0.6% yield reduction and cut nitrous oxide emissions and nitrogen leaching. "Our analysis revealed hot spots where excessive nitrogen fertilizer can be cut without yield penalty," said bioproducts and biosystems engineer Zhenong Jin at the University of Minnesota.

I'm not going to defend slavery...

You wrote that as the follow up sentence to one you wrote defending a slaver who raped his slaves, broke apart their families and subjected them to involuntary medical experimentation.
"From what I've read he took much better care of them than many others." Also Billjohnson
Records from the time are incomplete but Jefferson was perhaps the most prolific slaver alive at the founding of the US. The Declaration of Independence was a complete contradiction to how he lived his own life. It's not like the thought never occurred to Jefferson that slavery was abhorrent. His original draft of the Declaration called slavery the "cruel war against human nature."
Ben Franklin freed his slaves before the revolutionary war ended. Not Jefferson though. The reason slavery is mentioned so often at Monticello is because Monticello could not have existed without slavery. It was built and maintained by slaves. Slaves did the cooking, maintenance and agricultural work. Slaves played a bigger role in the existence of Monticello than Jefferson ever did. It may still exist today only because, unlike Washington who freed his slaves upon his death, Jefferson's slaves were sold to cover his debts.
