INDIANA FARM BUREAU, INC.

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 H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act (FFNSA). While INFB did support the passage of the bill through House Ag Committee, INFB is advocating for full passage of a farm bill that covers 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. INFB supports year-round E15 and advocates for permeant year-round E15 to be codified in legislation. Year-round E15 would have a significant economic impact up and down the supply chain across Indiana, including Hoosier farmers.
