What happened

Secretary Brooke L. Rollins and Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden hosted a press conference to celebrate the progress and achievement in reshoring fertilizer production back to United States soil, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s description of its August 26, 2026 upload — the second of the department’s two fertilizer-reshoring events that day, paged in sequence on this site.

Why it matters

Fertilizer is one of the largest input costs in American farming and a supply chain the administration has treated as a reshoring priority; a USDA press conference celebrating reshoring progress is the department’s progress report on that priority, delivered by the Secretary and her deputy together.

Scoreboard watch

Scoreboard candidate: the fertilizer-reshoring progress celebrated at this press conference, as the Secretary and Deputy Secretary stated it, is a dated, checkable claim about domestic production. Flagged for the weekly editor; no entry is published from this page.
