YOUR VOTE MATTERS. “Farmers and ranchers are on the frontlines of some of our most pressing challenges, from climate impacts to sustainable food production. But they can’t tackle these issues alone. To create effective solutions, we need policymakers and the public actively engaged, working together to support resilient, forward-thinking policies.”
At MY RURAL AMERICA, we would add a reminder. Tariffs are taxes, and it is not the foreign entities that pay them. It is us—the producers who need to sell our commodities to foreign markets—who will pay the tariffs. We remember what happened when our commodities (plus the previous tariffs that Trump added) crashed the markets. Let’s not do that again.
