Corn growers urge DOJ investigation into ‘collusive’ fertilizer industry practices

Corn growers are calling for a federal investigation into the fertilizer industry, citing "impossibly high input costs" that are crippling their operations. They suspect anti-competitive practices are driving up prices. This move follows a series of federal actions aimed at addressing fertilizer expenses, highlighting a growing concern among farmers about the economics of their supply chains. The potential investigation could reshape industry regulations and provide relief to a sector struggling with rising costs.
