Several House Republican Congressmen have signed onto a bill that they say would reverse regulatory burdens and reduce farm input costs.
Ag Committee Ranking member Glenn “GT” Thompson, the bill’s sponsor, says it would strengthen agricultural and food supply chains. “We are in a serious crisis moment. We need concrete immediate policy actions to help mitigate impacts at home and abroad. American agriculture, given the right tools and certainty, can serve a vital role in alleviating global food instability and mitigating costs for consumers.”
The Reducing Farm Input Costs and Barriers to Domestic Production Act would require the Biden administration to reverse policies that Thompson says are barriers to sustainable ag production.
