This bill would require fertilizer manufacturers and wholesalers to report their prices and sales quantities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture every week. The USDA would then publish this information on a public online dashboard and run its own weekly retail price survey. Individual companies' confidential business details would stay private.
Fertilizer manufacturers and wholesalers would be required to report. Cooperatives and retailers would be exempt from the requirement but could choose to report voluntarily, unless a retailer is also a manufacturer.
Farmers and other buyers would have more timely information about fertilizer prices when making purchasing decisions. The bill would not change any existing antitrust laws.
