🚨JUST ANNOUNCED:🚨

Today, we're launching the Fertilizer Investment and Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program—a $500 million investment to accelerate fertilizer production right here in America. 🇺🇸

We're prioritizing projects that are shovel-ready, financially viable, backed by private investment, and capable of delivering measurable benefits for American farmers.

Applications will be open for 45 days and must demonstrate strong financing, market demand, execution capabilities, and real production outcomes.

Our goal is simple: Build fertilizer plants in America. Produce fertilizer in America. Deliver fertilizer to American farmers.

America First means strengthening our domestic supply chain and reducing our dependence on foreign fertilizer.

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

🚨 More fertilizer options. More independence. Stronger supply chains.

USDA is investing $500 million through the new Fertilizer Investment & Expansion for Long-term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program to expand independent, domestic fertilizer production.

This initiative will: 
🌱 Help stabilize the fertilizer markets for American farmers. 
🌱 Boost American-made supply chains. 
🌱 Increase competition in the agricultural sector.

Competitive cost-share awards of up to $150 million are available for eligible projects that are innovative, farmer-focused, and ready to grow.

Unnecessary regulatory barriers have restricted supply, stalled construction, and driven up the cost of building a home. We’re working with builders and buyers to fund innovative housing types like smaller-sized homes, town homes and modular housing.
