And, fortunately, most of the US corn belt has excellent wind resources nearby, i.e. within a few hundred miles of either the front range of the Rocky Mountains or the Great Lakes, and generating ammonia is an excellent use for "stranded wind". Yet, while ammonia is used to a limited extent for mid-west US agriculture, almost all of it comes from petrochemical plants in Louisiana via barge up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. But, strangely, there is no real effort to develop the wind and wind driven ammonia aspect of this asset.
