- CF Industries: "The Company understands that it is one of only 30 companies to face these restrictions."
- From press release:
"CF Industries intends to engage directly with the federal government to ask that fertilizer shipments be prioritized so that spring planting is not adversely impacted."“CF Industries’ North American manufacturing network continues to produce at a high rate to meet the needs of customers, farmers and consumers,” said Will. “We urge the federal government to take action to remove these Union Pacific rail shipment restrictions to ensure this vital fertilizer will be able to reach U.S. farmers when and where they need it.”
- Shipping restrictions "jeopardizing farmers’ harvests." "could not come at a worse time for farmers,”
Its very simple! Spring planting always comes first, or there is no food later!
