Well, basically that means they want to put tariffs on overseas fertilizer coming into the U.S. Mosaic’s successfully got tariffs on phosphate, choking off Morocco’s access to our market, a place where we used to get affordable fertilizer from, but no more and you have CF Industries trying to get tariffs put on urea ammonium nitrates.” Kelly spoke at the Ag Summit in Brookings, South Dakota.
