Feenstra Applauds President Trump for Adding Phosphate and Potash to Final Critical Minerals List

HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of the Interior released its final Critical Minerals List, which includes phosphate and potash.

“I’m grateful to President Trump for delivering for Iowa farmers and adding both phosphate and potash to the final Critical Minerals List. This is a request that I helped lead to ensure that our farmers have access to the affordable inputs they need to feed and fuel our country and the world,” said Rep. Feenstra. “The inclusion of phosphate and potash to the final Critical Minerals List will help us lower input costs, increase domestic production, and protect Iowa farmers from outsized dependence on foreign countries for phosphate and potash. I will continue to work to bring down fertilizer costs and ensure that our farmers and rural communities are successful.”

Feenstra previously joined two letters requesting that phosphate and potash be added to the Critical Minerals List.
