Further, the tax increases in the \u2018Inflation Reduction Act\u2019 will only make matters worse by increasing burdens on businesses that continue to deal with supply-chain disruptions and the added costs of delivering goods to the marketplace.\u201d\n\nCrapo was joined at the conference by Idaho Farm Bureau CEO Zak Miller and Twin Falls County Farm Bureau President Larry Hollifield. Miller and Hollifield added to the Senator\u2019s concerns regarding sustained high inflation and its impacts on Idaho\u2019s producers.\n\n\u201cAs a farmer, we are used to good and bad years; that is normal,\u201d Hollifield said. \u201cHowever, there is a great concern about inflated farm inputs. We don\u2019t know how long they are going to last.\u201d\n\nAs the Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over international trade, Crapo continues to put pressure on the Biden Administration to pursue more trade agreements.\n\n\u201cSound trade policies that open more international markets to Idaho-produced agricultural goods are also another critical area we can fight inflation and increase economic opportunities for our Gem State agricultural producers,\u201d Crapo said.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:59:24Z"]], "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.crapo.senate.gov/media/newsreleases/crapo-inflation-impacting-idahos-agriculture-industry-is-out-of-control"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6806968487799168, "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"}
