Rollins mulls Biden program to cut fertilizer prices after initial market confidence

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said she is looking to bring back a program created by the Biden administration to increase domestic fertilizer production, despite earlier this month remarking that most farmers would not be affected by rising fertilizer costs from the Iran war. 

Rollins is eyeing the Fertilizer Production Expansion Program, designed under former President Joe Biden, which allocates funds to small- and mid-sized fertilizer production facilities through five-year grants to increase competition and bring down agricultural costs.
