Standing Up For Southwest Michigan Farmers

After gathering input from farmers and growers across the 4th District, on July 19th, I introduced the Protecting America’s Orchardists and Nursery Tree Growers Act with Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA).

Our bipartisan bill will reform the USDA's critical Tree Assistance Program (TAP) making it more effective, flexible, and easier to use whether Southwest Michigan farmers grow apples, blueberries, cherries, Christmas trees, grapes, peaches, or another specialty crop.

At the end of July, I had the opportunity to tour True Blue Farms in Grand Junction. There I saw first-hand their incredible blueberry operation and had the opportunity to discuss the impact of the Protecting America’s Orchardists and Nursery Tree Growers Act on Michigan agriculture and family farmers.

Jackson, MI. -- Michigan’s average gas prices are up 37 cents per gallon over the past month. According to AAA, the average price is $3.92 per gallon for regular unleaded gas, up from $3.76 last week, which was previously the record high for 2023.

Congressman Walberg released the following statement calling for the Senate to vote on H.R.1, Lower Energy Costs Act:

“In March, the House passed the Lower Energy Costs Act to provide desperately-needed relief for millions of Americans who cannot afford the surging energy prices brought on by regulations and the rush-to-green push from the Biden administration. For well over four months, the Senate has denied Americans access to affordable, reliable, and abundant energy and families continue to suffer at the pump and with their monthly energy bill. Instead of unlocking our domestic energy resources and providing long-term solutions like House Republicans, Biden and Senate Democrat allies raided the emergency reserve to provide temporary relief without fixing the root causes they actively worsen. With energy prices skyrocketing once again, it’s time for the Senate to vote on the Lower Energy Costs Act and let their constituents know if they support reliable and affordable energy.”

Eliminating restrictions on the import and export of oil and natural gas
Requiring the Department of the Interior to resume sales for the leasing of oil and gas resources on federal lands and water
