Highlights from Senator Marshall's op-ed include:

"Food security is national security, and we need a leader in the White House who realizes the importance of Ag, trade deals, and the 'art of the deal' that gives America the upper hand."

"For four years, the Biden-Harris administration has declared war on American agriculture. Their reckless policies have plunged net farm income to its lowest point in decades. The Biden-Harris America last energy policies and rampant inflation have resulted in skyrocketing input costs, devastating our farmer's bottom line."

"Where the Trump administration rolled back harmful regulations to empower farmers, Biden has expanded them, stifling innovation and suffocating our Ag sectors. Biden's veto of a bipartisan effort to reverse the burdensome Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) regulations only adds insult to injury."

"Trump opened vital markets in Japan, South Korea, Canada, China, and Mexico through agreements like the USMCA. These moves not only increased U.S. exports but also secured stable access to foreign markets for American farmers. In stark contrast, the Biden administration has not tried to negotiate any significant new trade agreements, effectively abandoning rural America and leaving it vulnerable."

"Under Trump, farmers enjoyed year-round access to E15, which benefited both the environment and the rural economy. Today, the lack of support for biofuels is a glaring oversight, stalling an industry that not only reduces carbon emissions but also sustains rural jobs."

"The Biden-Harris policies restrict land use, hinder energy production, drown our producers in regulations, and impose crushing interest rates, creating a ripple effect that devastates our communities and drives grocery prices through the roof.

"To revitalize rural America, we need a leader in the White House who prioritizes agricultural production and stands firmly against policies that undermine the very people who humbly feed the world." "As agriculture goes, so goes rural America, and so goes the heartbeat of America…The stark contrast between the two administrations' policies underscores the need for change."
