Washington, D.C. – The Warnock/Biden economic agenda has hurt all Americans, but few as badly as farmers. Across Georgia, farmers are struggling to make ends meet as their costs rise to historic levels. Meanwhile, in Washington, Raphael Warnock has voted in lockstep with the President and his radical agenda. The results are catastrophic:
- In 2021, fertilizer prices rose 80%. In 2022 they’ve risen an additional 30%.
- At the start of 2021, the average price of gas was $2.23/gallon and $2.64/gallon for diesel. In 2022, gas prices have gone up 80% to $4.04/gallon and diesel has risen 97% to $5.21/gallon.
These numbers aren’t some abstract statistics. They lead to livelihood-threatening costs that eventually trickle down to all of us who rely on them for food. But don’t just take our word for it…
Watch the NRSC’s new web video highlighting Warnock’s failures here:
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Raphael Warnock may not be a bad guy, but he’s very bad at owning his voting record. The Biden/Warnock agenda has directly given rise to inflation, especially the record prices of diesel and petroleum. By declaring war on the oil and gas industry, Biden and Warnock have made it harder for our nation to respond. Not only that, but they have also offered no real solutions to the supply chain and employment issues. Georgia farmers are rightfully upset by Raphael Warnock’s horrible job upholding his promise to support their livelihoods.”
