Crapo to Lead News Conference On Inflation Impacting Idaho’s Agriculture Industry

Twin Falls, Idaho--U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) will lead Idaho agricultural producers in a news conference on the inflationary pressure impacting Idaho’s agriculture industry.

“Sustained high inflation is out of control,” Crapo said.  “Idahoans continue to feel the pain of record high inflation and broad-based, rapid price increases.  Nowhere is this more apparent than in the agriculture industry where Idaho farmers are experiencing increases across their operations--from seed, chemical and fertilizer to the diesel used in harvest equipment and shipping, all of which culminate in higher costs for the consumer.”
