Vilsack announces investment to expand U.S. fertilizer production

The USDA has announced a $250 million investment to support and expand American fertilizer production.  

Speaking during Commodity Classic, Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said “we want to invest in fertilizer expansion in the U.S. that is Independently-produced, made in America. And, hopefully embrace new innovation and support sustainable farming operations.”

The USDA says it will address rising costs, including the impact of Russia’s price hike on farmers, and spur competition.
