INDIANA FARM BUREAU, INC.

LBR · Labor Issues/Antitrust/Workplace

INFB is supportive of appropriations language that would cap the H-2A AEWR and limit the ability to enforce a 2023 DOL rule regarding H-2A occupations on farm. Getting this language passed through in the upcoming appropriations bill would provide farmers that depend on H-2A labor the certainty they need to continue their operation in a way that doesnt include continues exorbitant wage raises.

TRD · Trade (domestic/foreign)

President Trumps ongoing and changing plan for tariffs causes concern with farmers that are often the first to feel pressure from trade/tariff differences. While trade negotiations can be beneficial to our members, a long term trade battle could have negative impacts on our members.

HCR · Health Issues

INFB is adamant about being a part of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) conversation. So far, agriculture has not been brought into the MAHA conversation, but, in several ways, has been identified as a part of the problem. INFB believes that Ag must be at the table to be a part of the MAHA solution.

AGR · Agriculture

INFB supports the passage of a 5-year farm bill. While several farm bill programs were signed into law with H.R.1, there are still several farm bill priorities that were not passed. INFB supports the passage of a farm bill that covers these lingering programs before the September 30th deadline. INFB Supports the Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program and appreciates the $12B that was given to the program. INFB will continue to advocate for additional funds to assist farmers through this difficult economic time.
