北达科他州的农民寻求美国农业部贷款计划扩展,用于在农场储存肥料. North Dakota farmers seek USDA loan program expansion for on-farm fertilizer storage.

美国农业部的"储存设施贷款计划", 包括在农场内储存肥料. North Dakota farmers are urging federal policymakers to expand the USDA’s Farm Storage Facility Loan program to include on-farm fertilizer storage. 官员们认为,如果能改善储存情况,农民可以在价格较低时购买肥料,并在作物最需要的时候使用. Led by the North Dakota Grain Growers Association, officials argue that improved storage would allow farmers to buy fertilizer when prices are lower and apply it when crops need it most. 由于全球贸易中断,肥料和燃料成本上升使农业供应链受到压力. This push comes as rising fertilizer and fuel costs due to global trade disruptions strain the agricultural supply chain.
