what happened
Reuters reports that the US Department of Agriculture has selected eight fertilizer production projects to receive support under its FIELDS program.
According to the agency, the chosen projects carry a combined proposed investment of more than $1.34 billion, of which roughly $573 million would come from the USDA.
why it matters
Fertilizer is a major input cost for farmers, so agricultural markets watch closely whenever domestic production capacity expands. Government co-funding of this size could speed up the construction of new plants.
