He also cited temporary tax relief for dyed diesel, additional phosphate shipments following the lifting of duties on Moroccan fertilizer, and a federal investment in domestic fertilizer production.

Fuel relief could reduce farmers’ harvest and delivery costs, while more phosphate supply and domestic production could ease fertilizer costs. These measures may modestly temper pressure on farm input expenses.
