A recent visit by Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins as. Speaker 2: Together we take the latest and perhaps the greatest at least step so far moving backward American fertilizer independence. Speaker 1: To the site of the future. Cf fertilizers Blue Point Complex in Louisiana. Speaker 2: The $3.7 billion ammonia plant, once operational, will be the world's largest by nameplate capacity. Speaker 1: Estimates include production once the facility is online of 1.4 million metric tons of low carbon ammonia. Speaker 2: To give you an idea of how significant this really is, the fertilizer coming from this plant alone is expected to support 6.7 million acres of corn production in the United States. That is 1.2 billion bushels of corn. Speaker 1: The secretary notes this is among several examples of USDA and U.S. efforts to increase and reshore fertilizer production in our country. Speaker 2: This is a remarkable facility that is being built here. This will provide much needed stability to the American supply chain and American farm production. Speaker 1: The significance of increased domestic fertilizer production and availability to our nation's ag producers will not only help American farmers. The Department of War attended because this is also a matter of national security.
