Safety is a top priority for us and our partners in the fertilizer industry. Following the 2013 tragedy of the West, Texas fertilizer retail facility explosion, we’ve made great strides to ensure fertilizer products are stored and transported safely and securely. Over the past year, we’ve implemented some new initiatives to further demonstrate the industry’s commitment to safety and security, as well as the safety of fertilizer employees at every stage of the supply chain.
