Rea S. Hederman Jr., executive director of the Economic Research Center and vice president of policy at The Buckeye Institute, joins Next Round to discuss its new report, “Net-Zero Climate-Control Policies Fail Farmers and Families.” The report looks at the impact the Biden administration’s climate-control policies will have on farmers and families. Farm operating costs is estimated to increase by 34%, annual grocery bills will increase $1,330, and the cost of basic food items will increase more than 70%. Rea discusses how California’s farmers and families could be particularly hard hit.

In The Gazette, Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute, and Chris Ingstad, president of Iowans for Tax Relief Foundation, highlight the dire economic consequences for Iowa farmers and families related to the Biden administration’s climate-control policies. Buckeye’s report and this op-ed come after Iowa’s Secretary of Agriculture signed a joint letter to six of the country’s largest investment banks expressing concerns over the banks’ support for net-zero banking practices.
