"Stephanie Nash, a Turning Point USA ambassador, spoke out about the issue on "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, saying the threat of drought, price hikes due to inflation
and an increasing number of regulations are creating serious problems for farmers.
"That's a big food security threat to our future here in America," Nash told guest host Katie Pavlich.
"California, they have tons of regulations with air quality, with water coalitions, just being able to get resources they need.
It's like they're pushing us into a corner to go out of business," she said.
"The biggest problem remains, however, that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has not kept up with a changing world, Nash asserted.
She said the USDA needs to consider the threats from severe weather and how family farmers are being impacted.
"And they want to tell us how to do our job on the side with regulations." (Emphasis Mine)
"Nash stressed the need for the government and the public to support local agriculture as foreign countries purchase U.S. farmland
and inflation continues to ravage the economy.
She predicted America will see many family farmers and ranchers go out of business in 2023 as a result." (Emphasis Mine)
