Would study creating a national fertilizer stockpile to help farmers and lower food prices.
This bill would require the government to study if it should create a national reserve of fertilizer, similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The goal is to protect farmers from sudden price hikes and supply problems, which could also help keep food costs down for everyone. If the study approves, a new agency and the reserve would be set up.
Today, the U.S. relies on regular markets for fertilizer, which can lead to unstable prices and supply issues for farmers. If this bill passes and the reserve is approved, the government would have a dedicated stockpile of fertilizer ingredients and a new agency to manage it, aiming to stabilize prices and ensure supply, with the ability to make fertilizer available within 14 days of a crisis.
