During the special session, the North Dakota Legislature passed legislation to promote fertilizer development in the state. This bill establishes a $125 million loan forgiveness program for a new fertilizer plant. “It is a big investment, which is why this incentive is so important,” said Mark Watne, president, North Dakota Farmers Union. Expanding the state’s fertilizer production capacity will mitigate price volatility and supply challenges. “In North Dakota, we’re in the end of the shipping cycle and with much of the nitrogen fertilizer shipped up the Mississippi, we’re concerned about pricing and supply disadvantages.”
