FTC Chairman Ferguson announced an investigation into the fertilizer industry following continued advocacy from IL Corn and other corn states. We appreciate the FTC for listening to farmers’ concerns and look forward to keeping the pressure on for fairness across agriculture.
ALT The Federal Trade Commission has launched a long-awaited investigation into the fertilizer industry’s pricing practices and market concentration, Chairman Andrew Ferguson announced today during a gathering of farmers representing 18 states at a North Texas farm. “I’m announcing that, on my order, the commission some time ago commenced a major industry-wide investigation into the precipitous rise of fertilizer prices in this country, which has affected so many of our nation’s farmers, including everyone in this room, including the issuance of compulsory process,” Chairman Ferguson said. “USDA data has shown the single largest increase in input costs of farmers across the United States since 2020 has come from fertilizer… These continued price increases are not something our nation, much less our farmers, can continue to ignore.” The announcement drew strong support from agricultural leaders and farmers attending the event.

"ALTONA, Ill. — Heroes don’t wear capes. They’re paged at 3 a.m. to fight a fire, the next day they’re advocating for ag on Capitol Hill and the following day pitching in for the local FFA."

Year-round E15 is a common sense energy solution for Americans. Lower prices at the pump, increased energy security, and demand for corn growers. We need E15 now.

One fair question about the proposed Inland Navigation Construction Organization (INCO) framework: "Has anything like this worked before at USACE?"
Yes. Repeatedly.
The INCO model mirrors proven program delivery structures already used within the Corps of Engineers for:
→ Installation Information Services (IIS) programs
→ Military Construction (MILCON) programs
→ Other large-scale Civil Works programs
→ The USACE Dam Safety Program, which manages the Corps' entire dam portfolio as an integrated enterprise
What these have in common: a unified program office, delegated authority from senior leadership, and a single point of accountability for performance across a complex, multi-District portfolio.
Extending this same approach to inland navigation isn't a radical restructuring. It's applying an existing USACE best practice to the program that needs it most.
The framework is flexible. It's designed to be adapted, not imposed. But the core insight is non-negotiable: programs are delivered by programs, not by loosely coordinated projects.
