Tell Congress that Potash and Phosphate ARE Critical Minerals

IFCA is asking our members to reach out to members of Congress in relation to adding potash and phosphate as critical minerals. Congress is currently considering legislation to add potash and phosphate to the critical minerals list, a list held by the U.S. Geological Survey that designates minerals of high importance for America’s supply chains, consumer needs, and national security. Once a substance is listed as a critical mineral, a single agency is assigned to permit applications and is responsible for coordinating with all other agencies necessary for final approval.
  
IFCA’s national partner, The Fertilizer Institute, has simplified the process for you to reach your member of congress. Click here to quickly and easily tell your members of Congress that potash and phosphate are critical to both the country's food security and national security and urge them to support adding them to the critical minerals list.
 
IFCA appreciates our members’ help and support on this particularly critical issue.
