Senator Chuck Grassley is calling on President Trump to eliminate tariffs on fertilizer imports as a way to strengthen the agricultural economy. The Iowa Republican believes removing these trade barriers would provide direct relief to family farmers across the country.
Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley is urging President Trump to utilize available executive powers to boost the struggling agricultural sector. The longtime lawmaker is specifically requesting that the administration examine current fertilizer import duties.
“He could take tariffs off all fertilizers coming into the United States as one way of helping the family farmer, and in turn, helping get the economy moving again,” Grassley stated, emphasizing the potential benefits of eliminating these trade barriers.
The senator’s proposal comes as farmers nationwide continue to face economic pressures from rising input costs and market volatility. Grassley believes that reducing fertilizer expenses through tariff elimination could provide immediate financial relief to agricultural operations of all sizes.
