Agriculture Secretary Rollins considers reviving Biden-era fertilizer production program amid rising costs
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is considering reinstating the Biden administration's Fertilizer Production Expansion Program, which allocated roughly $900 million to small- and mid-sized fertilizer producers. Fertilizer costs have risen sharply, with nitrogen-based urea up 27% in April, partly due to Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Rollins previously stated 80% of farmers would be unaffected but has since signaled willingness to act on the remaining 20%.
