According to the Kentucky Farm Bureau, the Commonwealth has lost approximately 17,000 farms and 1.4 million acres of farmland. With unnecessary wars spiking fertilizer, fuel and diesel prices and trade wars rubber-stamped by Andy Barr, more of our family farms will close. Washington dysfunction also keeps a $1.4 trillion Farm Bill that would buy our products and feed the Commonwealth from passing.
- I will support the $12 billion farm aid package currently stalled in the U.S. Senate and a new farm bill that puts our farmers first.
