Senator Baldwin visited Rebout Farms in Janesville, Wisconsin, which raises 4,200 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat in Rock County, and Frontier Farms in Sharon, Wisconsin, which specializes in soybeans, corn, and winter wheat.\n\n\u201cWisconsin farmers work hard to produce world-class products that feed the world and power our rural economies. On top of Donald Trump\u2019s reckless trade war that shut off places to sell their products and jacked up costs, Wisconsin\u2019s farmers are now paying record high costs for diesel and fertilizer in the middle of spring planting because of this illegal war in Iran,\u201d said Senator Baldwin. \u201cToday, I visited two Wisconsin farms to understand how Donald Trump\u2019s war of choice has created even more headwinds for Wisconsin farmers. This much is clear: this war needs to end.\u201d\n\nOne-third?of the world\u2019s fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and since the attacks on the shipping lane, prices have gone up?25%. Diesel prices have?also?jumped?75%?in the last?three?months, dramatically increasing?farmers\u2019?costs?to?operate?their machinery.?Senator Baldwin has?repeatedly forced votes?in the Senate to end Trump\u2019s war in Iran that is hurting Wisconsin farmers, families, and servicemembers. Senator Baldwin also leads bipartisan legislation that would provide American producers with more accurate information on prices for fertilizer and fertilizer products in response to longstanding concerns over rising input costs.\n\n###", 1, "2026-05-27T06:38:34Z", "2026-05-27T06:40:17Z"]], "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://www.baldwin.senate.gov/news/press-releases/baldwin-visits-wisconsin-farms-as-war-in-iran-jacks-up-fertilizer-fuel-costs"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.423441804945469, "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"}
