Occurrences

introduced the bipartisan Fertilizer Transparency Act to increase transparency in fertilizer markets and provide farmers with better information on the price of key crop inputs. The bill would require the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a mandatory reporting program for fertilizer prices and quantities sold in the United States.

Johnson introduced legislation that would require USDA to create a mandatory fertilizer price and quantity reporting program, published weekly.

Evidence

The committee's latest posted press release is dated June 16, 2026 and concerns USDA implementation of land-grant university funding, not a fertilizer price-reporting program.

Recent committee activity in the lookback window is focused on other agriculture issues; there is no visible June action showing Dusty Johnson's fertilizer price-reporting promise was delivered.

The June 10, 2026 opening statement centers on the USMCA hearing and agricultural trade, showing the committee's current agenda is elsewhere in the lookback window.

The committee's June work is on trade and implementation topics, not fertilizer reporting; this supports an unresolved status rather than delivery or reversal.

The draft bill adds "Mandatory reporting of dairy product processing costs" and, for fertilizer, only authorizes research grants "to improve fertilizer use efficiency".

In the posted House farm-bill text, fertilizer appears as a research and nutrient-management item, while explicit mandatory reporting language is used for dairy instead. That is serious legislative effort, but it does not establish the requested fertilizer price-reporting program.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

There is no evidence here that a mandatory fertilizer price-reporting program was enacted or formally established. The strongest legislative evidence points the other way: the posted 2026 farm-bill text uses mandatory reporting for dairy processing costs, while fertilizer provisions are limited to research and efficiency grants, which does not satisfy the promise. Recent House Agriculture Committee activity also shows no visible delivered outcome on fertilizer price reporting. Because Johnson is still in office and the record shows some policy-related legislative effort but not a completed outcome or a clearly final defeat, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
