Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. has criticized President Joe Biden for the decline in farm income forecasted for 2024. According to the USDA, there is a major decline expected in farm income, and Senator Marshall believes that Biden's policies are largely to blame.

"To hear the mainstream media say that Joe Biden is better for farmers than the Trump Administration is unbelievable," Senator Marshall said. "The Biden Administration has been riding President Trump's coat tails of success the last few years, and his bad policies are finally catching up to him."

Senator Marshall attributes the decline in farm income to several factors, including the high inflation rate under the Biden Administration. He states that "Bidenflation has hit a 40-year high, skyrocketing interest rates are crippling our family farms, and the cost to do business here in America is unaffordable." Additionally, Senator Marshall accuses Biden of imposing relentless regulations, abandoning agricultural trade, and creating unfavorable economic conditions for farmers.

"This dismal forecast only further highlights the urgency of passing a Farm Bill that is meaningful to the full-time farm families," Senator Marshall emphasized. He believes that a Farm Bill should prioritize the needs of hardworking American farmers and ranchers over Democratic spending priorities in areas such as nutrition and climate change.

Senator Marshall has been vocal about his concerns regarding Biden's policies and their impact on rural America. He recently penned an op-ed in The Hill, where he further highlighted the ways in which he believes Biden has failed to deliver for rural communities.

It is clear that Senator Marshall holds Biden accountable for the decline in farm income forecasted for 2024. He believes that the urgency lies in passing a Farm Bill that prioritizes the needs of farmers and ranchers, rather than Democratic spending priorities. Only time will tell how this issue unfolds and what actions will be taken to address the concerns raised by Senator Marshall and others in the agricultural community.
