Crawford Works on Solutions to Lower Farm Input Costs\n\n6/16/2022\n\nWashington \u2014 Yesterday, Representative Rick Crawford (AR-01) joined several of his colleagues in introducing H.R. 8069, the Reducing Farm Input Costs and Barriers to Domestic Production Act. The bill would reverse regulatory barriers to domestic agriculture production as well as increase access to chemicals needed to produce fertilizer.\n\nsites/evo-subsites/crawford.house.gov/files/migrated/uploads/2022/06/2Z0A1083-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1758\"/>\n\n\"Farmers already know it's in their best interest to keep their land healthy and sustainable for years to come. They don't need the government telling them how to farm,\" said Rep. Crawford. \"We must also address higher input costs such as fertilizer and especially fuel, which are critical in not just farming and harvesting, but in getting goods to market.\"\n\nThis week, Rep. Crawford and colleagues also sent a letter to President Biden addressing the many concerns they have regarding energy and fertilizer costs for farmers as well as the barriers the administration has created for agriculture producers with regulations that further increase farmers' costs.\n\nIn the letter, the lawmakers called on Biden to:\n\nAddress farm input costs, including energy and fertilizer costs, that have been exacerbated by inflation.\n\nStop proposed WOTUS changes that create uncertainty for farmers, ranchers, and landowners.\n\nRefocus the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on sound science, instead of negatively impacting the ability of producers to access crop protection tools.\n\nEnd onerous climate rules that particularly hurt small farmers who lack the time and resources to comply.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crawford.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-crawford-works-on-solutions-to-lower-farm-input-costs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4536273665726185, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
