"Fertilizer is one of the most highly consolidated sectors in American agriculture, with the top four firms
collectively controlling 75% of fertilizer markets," the letter said.
"Koch Industries is in fact one of these four fertilizer firms, in addition to being one of the largest privately held
companies in the country. While we would harbor grave concerns about any acquisition that further consolidates
an agricultural sector as concentrated and as critical as fertilizer, those concerns are much more serious given this
deal involves hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars."
