Republican representatives sent a letter to President JoeBiden on Tuesday urging him to address the rising cost of fertilizer.
Items on the list would run afoul of Biden’s"green" agenda, so the likelihood of seeing relief appears to be slim. The proposed measures include increasing gas and mineral production and approving export permits for liquefied natural gas.
The letter, authored by Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota, said,"Ongoing supply-chain bottlenecks and the rising cost of energy are among the factors sending fertilizer prices soaring, and disruptions stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will only compound the problem. As a result, Americans will pay more at restaurants, grocery store, and elsewhere."The letter, signed by 96 GOP lawmakers, named various fertilizer ingredients that have risen by up to 203% since January 2021.
“We have estimated 16,000 truckers transport products back and forth against Canadian border — $650 billion dollars a year of product,” he said.
