Proposing Solutions to Help our Farmers
With the cost of fertilizer up 220% and the world experiencing shortages, the yields we’re accustomed to achieving in the United States are in jeopardy. This week, I joined my colleagues on the House Agriculture Committee in proposing our solution to provide relief.
We introduced the Reducing Farm Input Costs and Barriers to Production Act, which provides real solutions to provide relief for American farmers and families.
Included in this legislation are provisions to improve domestic access to phosphate and potash by calling for their inclusion on the U.S. Geological Survey’s critical minerals list. This will improve production, limit the effects of supply chain issues, and lower input costs for farmers. I’m proud to work alongside my colleagues to address the issues that our farmers, and those that depend on them, are facing.

I joined colleagues in sending a letter to the SEC Chair asking them to rescind these proposals.
