Businesses and farmers are facing rising costs and growing uncertainty.
In recent years, global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and most recently disruptions in major shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz have driven up the cost of fuel, fertilizer, and other essentials that many farmers rely on. When these costs spike, it becomes harder for farms and food businesses to stay profitable, plan ahead, and keep supply chains running.
These challenges point to a deeper issue. U.S. agriculture is highly exposed to global markets that can shift quickly and unpredictably, leaving farmers and businesses to absorb the risk.
Businesses and farmers see another path forward.
We are calling on Congress to support solutions that reduce dependence on volatile inputs, lower costs over time, and strengthen resilience across the food system. This includes investing in soil health, expanding access to renewable energy and conservation practices, and supporting rural infrastructure that helps American producers operate with greater stability.
