USDA will soon dish out more than $100 million on increasing domestic fertilizer production.
They will be spending $116 million on the effort, with the money coming from the Commodity Credit Corporation. The funds will help expand fertilizer production in nine states across eight different facilities.
Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says he hopes the money will lower inputs while increasing options for farmers. So far through the Fertilizer Production Expansion Program, USDA has spent more than half a billion dollars on more than 75 fertilizer facilities.
