This seems like a good bill to fight inflation.  Food inflation is up and fertilizer is a key cost component to food production. With the limited availability of Russian fertilizer and likely food production shortages in Russia, Ukraine, China, and Sri Lanka this bill temporarily reduces barriers to importing fertilizer our farmers need to provide cheap food. It also simultaneously encourages the use of domestic organic fertilizer to reduce dependence in foreign fertilizer price shocks.
