American agricultural trade deficit reaches a record high, with significant reliance on foreign-grown produce. Lawmakers express concerns over Biden's agricultural trade policies, citing challenges faced by farmers due to increased costs, regulations, and drought. Calls for prioritizing rural America in the Farm Bill and addressing issues like supply chain disruptions and market access.
I met with members of the Nebraska Farm Bureau and we discussed unfunded government mandates on Nebraska producers, the Biden Administration’s failures on agricultural trade, and EPA overreach on family farms. Farmers are our State’s backbone and we need to have their backs. https://t.co/npH2gVQv6h
Rural America is struggling under the Biden administration. We have a duty to exercise rigorous oversight of @USDA, and will continue advocating for a #FarmBill that puts rural America first. https://t.co/KK9vHqhl3b
Yesterday, during a @HouseAgGOP committee hearing, I raised my serious concerns that California's costly #Prop12 mandates will hurt #IA04 hog farmers. The Biden administration doesn't seem to care at all. That's why we must overturn #Prop12 through legislative action ASAP.
Even the Biden Administration agrees: California’s Prop 12 mandate, and efforts like it, will lead to chaos for American farmers and higher prices & less choices for consumers. I’ll continue working to protect interstate commerce and preserve market access for Iowa farmers. https://t.co/MHwDf1T3vA
Our farmers need support now more than ever, but less than 10% of the Farm Bill is going to support production agriculture. This has to change. I asked Secretary Vilsack if he’s even spoken with farmers lately about how increased input costs are impacting them. https://t.co/ZCQQzQ4rQO
Farmers in #MN01 are facing decreased income, increased input costs, supply chain challenges, & burdensome regulations. At today’s @HouseAgGOP hearing, I made clear to @SecVilsack that I will continue to stand up for farmers despite the Biden Administration's poor track record. https://t.co/Uiox23SReE

Farmers across Alabama are feeling the pinch of slim margins and a historic drought, but all Biden has to offer them is more red tape. I asked Secretary Vilsack how we can work together to increase references prices and adjust Title 1 to meet the needs of modern-day production. https://t.co/byBc67PXUI
.@RepFeenstra is right: Farmers need access to trade markets to survive and to thrive. Biden has turned his back on agricultural trade and we're on track for the largest agricultural trade deficit ever. https://t.co/mPRC0DQVgo
America’s agricultural trade deficit is at an all-time high. As @RepMGP points out, on average, about 40% of the fresh produce American families consume is foreign-grown. Let's put rural America first. #FarmBill https://t.co/uwFDc24jpJ
