Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers to introduce the Fertilizer Transparency Act to help provide Illinois farmers with more certainty and better information about fertilizer prices.
Support legislation to improve fertilizer cost transparency for Illinois farmers.
Occurrences
I’m introducing the bipartisan Fertilizer Transparency Act to provide more certainty and help Illinois farmers make the most cost-effective decisions possible with access to clear data about the cost of fertilizer.
Evidence
Sorensen's office says he joined bipartisan lawmakers to introduce the Fertilizer Transparency Act for Illinois farmers and fertilizer price information.
GovInfo lists H.R. 8104 as the Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026 and lists Eric Sorensen of Illinois among the cosponsors.
The bill text establishes USDA fertilizer price reporting, including weekly reports and public access to market information for farmers and market participants.
Rep. Finstad's official release says the bill would require USDA to publish fertilizer prices weekly and names Eric Sorensen as a cosponsor.
Assessments
Sorensen formally supported legislation matching the promise by cosponsoring/introducing the Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026, which would require USDA fertilizer price reporting and public market information for farmers. Because the promise was to support legislation, not necessarily enact it, this counts as delivered during his current federal House term.
