So, Leader Thune and I just introduced the Fertilizer Transparency Act , which would create a mandatory price reporting structure, providing wholesalers, retailers and farmers of all sizes with comparable levels of market information on fertilizer costs, creating reasonable reporting requirements, which would help ensure that farmers can better access information about supply, about pricing and market trends.

Evidence

"That is why I introduced new bipartisan bills with Senator John Thune of South Dakota and Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas to address these sky-rocketing costs. These bills will create a mandatory price reporting structure—providing wholesalers, retailers, and farmers of all sizes with comparable levels of market information on fertilizer costs."

Klobuchar continues to publicly press for mandatory fertilizer price reporting, but this is a statement of advocacy rather than evidence that the policy has been enacted.

Last Action Date Listed March 19, 2026: Mr. Thune (for himself, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Grassley, and Ms. Baldwin) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Full Title: To amend the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to establish a mandatory price reporting program for fertilizer, and for other purposes.

The Senate bill directly matches the claim but its latest recorded action is introduction and referral, so the commitment remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Klobuchar has materially advanced the promise by co-introducing bipartisan legislation that directly would establish mandatory fertilizer price reporting. However, the cited 2026 bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence that the mandatory reporting system has been enacted or implemented. Because she remains in federal office and the matching legislation is still pending rather than finally defeated, the promise is not delivered but remains unresolved, with effort credit warranted.
