Published | Video Starts at 00:35

So as we're moving into planting season, It's only about 20 to 25% of our farmers that didn't lock [fertilizer] in. We are working directly to ensure that we can get them what they need and it won't bankrupt them. The president waived the Jones Act. We opened up a line, I believe from Venezuela. (00:35)

CLAIM
