Agricultural Anti-Gouging and Fair Share

Prevents dominant agribusiness middlemen and processors from using market power to overcharge consumers while underpaying farmers.

- Establish a farmer share floor of 20%–35% of final retail price, adjusted by product type, ensuring producers receive a fair portion of the consumer food dollar.

- Allow civil penalties and corrective market actions against companies found to be artificially suppressing producer payments or inflating consumer prices.

- Authorize USDA and the FTC to investigate excessive pricing disparities between farm-gate, wholesale, and retail markets in highly concentrated agricultural sectors.
