What this bill would do

The Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026 aims to amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. It establishes a mandatory price reporting program for fertilizer and fertilizer products. Under this bill, manufacturers and wholesalers must report prices and quantities of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other fertilizer products to the Secretary of Agriculture. This information is to be published weekly on a national and potentially regional basis. Additionally, the Secretary will establish a retail fertilizer price survey program. The goal is to provide timely market information to help farmers make informed decisions and promote industry competition.
