Farm Bill: In the House, Republicans are working to whip votes to ensure passage of a farm bill on the House floor. House Agriculture Committee Chair GT Thompson (R-PA) has expressed a desire to move the bill before Easter; however, other Republican priorities and the ongoing conflict in Iran may delay that timeline until later in the spring. Report language from the Committee is still pending release.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, Agriculture Committee leadership is focused on a $15 billion relief aid package, which could be included in a larger disaster package addressing funding for the conflict in Iran. Out of that $15 billion, there is likely a certain portion of the funding that will be alloated toward specialty crop growers, but that exact amount is being negotiated on the Hill.
Senators Introduce Bill on Fertilizer Pricing Transparency: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) led the introduction of the Fertilizer Transparency Act. The bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to collect and publish data on fertilizer prices from manufacturers on a weekly basis, instead of the current annual voluntary survey on the prices producers pay for inputs. Fertilizer costs have been a priority of the administration as well, following a Presidential Executive Order around bolstering domestic supply of elemental phosphorus.
