Rep. Marion Berry (D, AR) is pushing hard to allow American farmers to buy lower-cost Russian ammonium nitrate fertilizer, and has put out a press release blasting the International Trade Commission (ITC) for holding in place tariffs he says prevent Russian companies from selling in the U.S. Berry said domestically produced fertilizer prices "are through the roof," and expressed frustration at the ITC's decision to "keep cheap inputs out of reach of our farmers." The ITC voted to keep existing tariffs on ammonium nitrate, similar to a 2005 ruling that maintained tariffs on imported urea.
