Please direct funding to more companies competing for the farmer's business. Generating more supply for the existing companies does not resolve the monopoly control of the fertilizer market issue. Pursuing the MOU with DoJ is crucial. Executive order of December 6th to DoJ and FTC is crucial.

While Biden stood idly by as fertilizer prices skyrocketed 40%, and hit 99% at their worst, @POTUS is fixing the supply chain crisis head-on: ➡️ Expanded fertilizer exports from Venezuela ➡️ Suspended the Jones Act for 60 days ➡️ MOU with @TheJusticeDept and @USDA to manage input costs ➡️ Reinstated potash as a critical mineral to the U.S. And we’re continuing to work with private industry to accelerate investment!

Budget Hearing - Department of Agriculture youtube.com/live/8eCHIcDaF… via @YouTube Some very good comments from Rep. Hinson IA and Secretary Rollins concerning the lack of competition in the fertilizer industry. Only concern was money mentioned by Sec. Rollins to expand the fertilizer resources in the U.S. Hope she realizes giving money to the monopolies does nothing to expand competition. We need more companies competing not more plants owned by the same monopolies. Look at 24 minutes and 35 minutes for fertilizer comments.

@JLinvilleFert You just keep on being the mouthpiece of the monopolies and eventually StoneX will decide you are a liability not an asset.

@txvaughan Oh no. Oh, I'm so sorry...that you think anyone cares what you think!!!

Right now, NOLA urea is about $150 cheaper than it should be vs global economics and phosphate is being exported at a rapid pace due to our discount vs the world. Fertilizer is not cheap, but manufacturers are not gouging right now...

Phosphate duties are driving up fertilizer costs, and farmers are feeling it. Watch the @agripulse webinar replay to learn how trade duties on Moroccan phosphate have pushed diammonium phosphate (DAP) prices up nearly 29%. loom.ly/iAbVsUQ

Deputy Secretary Vaden is a rock star!!! Vaden takes aim at Mosaic, Nutrien ‘duopoly,’ hints at future action Deputy Agriculture Secretary Stephen Vaden on Wednesday accused Nutrien and Mosaic of colluding to limit U.S. fertilizer supply and control prices, suggesting that the administration could take future action to inject more competition into markets, if necessary.

farmaction.us/the-corporate-… This article is spot on. I have been observing it for over 30 years as a leader in ag organizations.
