On Tuesday, the House Committee on Agriculture discussed the financial conditions in our farm country. I discussed how farmers are facing a growing economic crisis.
Unfair trade taxes from China and other countries have hurt our economy and made groceries more expensive. I asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to support our Valley's exports and fight against unfair trade practices. This policy would increase pay, lower soaring prices, and create good jobs. By supporting our farmers, we can lower grocery and gas prices in our Valley.
