A bipartisan group of senators is pushing the Treasury Department to restrict the new 45Z clean fuels tax credit to domestically sourced feedstocks. That would prevent imports of used cooking oil from qualifying for the tax subsidy.
Corn growers and formulators of 2,4-D urged the International Trade Commission Thursday to deny a request from Corteva Agriscience for antidumping duties on low-priced Chinese and Indian imports, claiming the company has been using its position as the sole U.S. producer of 2,4-D acid to gain market share for its Enlist growing system.
USDA is releasing a final rule today under the Packers and Stockyards Act to protect meat and poultry producers from discrimination and retaliation by packers, swine dealers and live poultry dealers.
A bipartisan group of senators and House members is urging the International Trade Commission to consider farmer voices as it decides what to do about Moroccan phosphate imports.
The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled Monday that imports of urea ammonium nitrate fertilizer from Russia and Trinidad and Tobago are not harming U.S. producers of the product, ending the threat of stiff duties on imports and evoking relief from U.S. growers.
The Moroccan phosphate giant OCP got a major boost to its effort to reenter the U.S. phosphate market at the U.S. Court of International Trade, but company executives say there may be more challenging legal battles ahead in a campaign that has fertilizer-dependent farmers on their side.
The Commerce Department has issued final rulings that Russia and Trinidad and Tobago unfairly subsidize exports of urea ammonium nitrate fertilizer, which is dumped in the U.S. at below market prices.
Barges full of Moroccan phosphate that arrive in New Orleans are still moving up the Mississippi River, but that fertilizer isn’t for U.S. farmers. Countervailing duties the U.S. slapped on Moroccan phosphate giant OCP last year make that impossible, so the much-needed farm input is going to Canada instead.
The U.S. Court of International Trade has agreed to take into consideration arguments by five major U.S. farm groups against a decision this year by the U.S. International Trade Commission to allow tariffs to be placed on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco and Russia.
