I believe that fertilizer plants start with natural gas as the primary feedstock.

You are correct (in most cases) if we limit the discussion to nitrogen fertilizers. There are exceptions. Some
non-nitrogen fertilizers such as phosphorus are mined. There is an ammonia plant in Kansas using coke from a
refinery. I'm not certain if it is used as the fuel for the reformer or as feedstock for the synthesis gas stream.
