#madepossiblebyfertilizer
We are the men and women who work in the U.S. fertilizer industry – and we are over 100,000 proud. Whether engineers at large-scale fertilizer producers, wholesale workers who store fertilizer until farmers need it or family-owned retailers who work with farmers, we do our jobs with pride.
The food to feed our growing global population depends on a steady supply of fertilizer nutrients before it is harvested. Our highest priority is to ensure that natural resource stewardship, community safety and responsible agricultural practices are part of the equation.
This year, our theme is #madepossiblebyfertilizer. We know that every part of our lives touches fertilizer in some way, from family dinners to munching on popcorn at the movie theater. Let’s celebrate the way that the fertilizer industry positively impacts all of our lives.

Informing the Next Gen: We’ve inspired the next generation with school presentations and industry facility visits, nationwide career webinars, and a digital contest where students showcased their creativity and highlighted the importance of fertilizer.
Informing the Public: Our social media buzzed with energy thanks to GFD assets, our members’ posts, and a collaboration with the Farm Babe influencer, who brings farming facts to life for the public.
Our members! Members joined the festivities by sharing a unified global message in various languages, participating in facility celebrations and tours, and spreading the word with vibrant social assets.
