White House announces new fertilizer projects under USDA’s FIELDS program

Today, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, announced the selection of eight fertilizer manufacturing projects to receive funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Fertilizer Investment Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program. USDA economic analysis estimates that the additional production could reduce nitrogen fertilizer prices by 4.4% and potash prices by 5.3%, while increasing domestic nitrogen production by 3.7% and potash production by nearly 40% once the projects are operational. The projects will support new and expanded manufacturing capacity for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur fertilizers across the United States. These investments are expected to support approximately 1.08 million tons of annual domestic fertilizer production and capacity across the selected projects. The eight projects selected to move forward in the FIELDS funding process include: TalusAg – Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Tennessee, Neb
