The bill would prevent the government from placing tariffs on imported phosphate fertilizers, which are commonly used in agriculture to help crops grow. This would keep fertilizer prices lower for American farmers and potentially reduce food production costs, though it could affect domestic fertilizer manufacturers who compete with foreign suppliers.
