A U.S. Congressman is worried about input costs for farmers going into the next growing season.
Representative Randy Feenstra, out of Iowa, told Brownfield News that the situation in Europe with fertilizer and natural gas prices could cause those costs in the U.S. to go back up, as farmers are already struggling with the current prices.
He says reducing tariffs on Morocco’s phosphate imports would help address the problem.
