Op-Eds
Arizonans deserve energy independence, lower prices, and security in their futures. Yet federal bureaucrats have forced them to forgo all of the above in favor of relying on America’s adversaries for critical resources that are right in their own backyards.
Arizona’s agricultural industry contributes $23.3 billion to our state’s economy each year. The success of this industry is attributable to the innovation of our farmers and ranchers, but also to the uniqueness of our climate: temperatures where crops can grow year-round and public lands where cattle can forage freely. The Farm Bill, a legislative package that needs to be reauthorized every five years, provides critical support for farmers and ranchers in the West. When our agricultural economy is stable, families across Arizona, and America, benefit.
