ICGA statement on fertilizer investigation

Upon reading the Bloomberg report of a potential investigation into fertilizer prices, ICGA President and Illinois farmer Mark Bunselmeyer released the following statement:  

“ICGA is encouraged by the formal process to investigate fertilizer prices and provide eventual input cost relief for Illinois corn farmers. Our association has prioritized bringing competition to the fertilizer marketplace for our members as they are squeezed by high costs of production and low commodity prices. We will monitor this report, its findings, and will always advocate for the best interests of our members.”
