Bill > HR0085

This resolution urges the federal government to take action to support Michigan's agricultural sector in response to ongoing tariff threats and trade uncertainties. Recognizing that agriculture contributes approximately $104 billion to Michigan's economy and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, the resolution highlights the significant economic risks posed by recent tariffs, which can increase costs for farmers, reduce export opportunities, and create market instability. The resolution specifically calls on the federal government to pursue fair and balanced trade policies that protect Michigan's agricultural sector, invest in programs that support agricultural resilience and market diversification, and provide assistance to farmers to mitigate the effects of economic disruptions. Additionally, the resolution directs that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials, including the President, the Secretary of Agriculture, the U.S. Trade Representative, and Michigan's congressional delegation, to emphasize the importance of these policy recommendations for the state's agricultural community.
