Today’s announcement is a major step toward restoring American fertilizer production and reducing our reliance on foreign suppliers. 🇺🇸 Through @USDA investments and partnerships, the projects announced today are expected to increase domestic fertilizer production by nearly 4.5 million tons annually — helping support roughly 400,000 producers and 290 million acres of farmland across the country. For too long, farmers have faced rising input costs and supply chain disruptions driven by global instability and over-dependence on imports. Expanding domestic production helps strengthen our food security, lower costs for producers, and keep American agriculture competitive. There is still more work ahead, but this is an incredible step in delivering long-term solutions for rural America and the farmers who feed, fuel, and clothe the world. @epaleezeldin @SecretaryWright
