Farm Bill with Rep. John Duarte

Published | Video Starts at 00:36

Well, the first thing we need to do is We need to get reference prices up for a lot of commodities on the commodity loan rates. We've seen inflation hit households across America. We've seen the same thing with farms. Energy costs are up, fertilizer costs are up. Everything is more expensive, including the people they hire. (00:36–00:42)
