USDA Seeking Information From Farmers About Fertilizer ‘Cartel’ Practices
USDA is looking to gather information from farmers regarding suspected cartel practices in the fertilizer industry. This move comes in an effort to promote fair competition and prevent potential price-fixing.
"We want to ensure farmers have access to fertilizer at reasonable prices," said a representative from USDA.
The agency is encouraging farmers to share any insights or experiences related to fertilizer procurement, pricing, and potential anti-competitive behaviors. This information will be used to investigate and address any concerning practices.
