Mike Rounds: “Projected loss per acre across the country in 2026 for corn…”

“Higher fertilizer, diesel fuel, seed equipment and crop protection costs, coupled with retaliatory trade practices and continued market uncertainty have put enormous financial pressure on producers. Specifically, the Projected loss per acre across the country in 2026 for corn is $131, for cotton, $342, for wheat, $114 and for soybeans, $80. While we work to strengthen America's ability to produce more of what we need here at home and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, Congress should provide stability so producers can remain in business and continue producing the best food and fuel in the world.” (01:12–01:30)
