The Iran War has impacted already volatile fertilizer markets. This has not gone unnoticed in Washington, D.C.

“We’re going to finish the war with Iran, and we will accommodate as best we can the American farmer with additional assistance for their increased input costs,” said Congressman Austin Scott, who is Vice Chair of the House Agriculture Committee. “I believe that additional assistance will come.
