Riley Introduces Fertilizer Pricing Bill as Iran War Drives Up Costs for Farmers Congressman Josh Riley (NY-19) helped introduce the bipartisan Fertilizer Transparency Act, legislation to require the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a mandatory weekly reporting program for fertilizer prices and quantities sold across the country. "Farmers in New York's 19th district are already up against the wall — unpredictable weather, volatile markets, and now a war halfway around the world is spiking the cost of the fertilizer they depend on every season. That's not fair, and it's not something our farmers should have to navigate blind."
