Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026

This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to set up a fertilizer price reporting program. Fertilizer manufacturers and wholesalers would have to report their prices and quantities of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other fertilizer products to the Secretary of Agriculture at least once a week, separated by domestic and foreign sellers. Cooperatives and retailers that are not manufacturers would be exempt but could report voluntarily. The Department would publish the information weekly, run a weekly survey of retail fertilizer prices, and post summaries on a public dashboard while keeping individual business information confidential and exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests.
