The USDA is offering $500 million in grants to try and increase domestic fertilizer production. In Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack’s address to the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, Vilsack said the agency is now accepting applications by independent fertilizer producers. “The awards under the program can be anywhere from $1 million to $100 million. They can span projects that take the next three-to-five years, ready for crop year 2023 and 2024. The first application window goes for 45 days.” The second application period will be a 90-day application period for projects requiring more time.
