This morning, Representative Sharice Davids offered the following statement after voting to pass a Farm Bill out of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee:

 

“It’s been eight years since Congress passed a Farm Bill, and Kansas farmers are operating in an environment of high input costs, tight margins, and unstable markets due to reckless tariffs. I voted to advance this Farm Bill because it strengthens crop insurance, invests in agricultural research and rural development, and keeps us moving toward the certainty producers need.

“President Trump promised lower costs and relief for hardworking families. But what we’ve seen instead is the exact opposite — policies that raise costs, put farmers out of business, and cut people off their lifesaving health care.

 

“Reckless tariffs are forcing families to pay more while billionaires are receiving giveaways at the expense of those who actually earn their paychecks. No one, no matter their party, asked for this.
