FARMERS, RANCHERS OPPOSE THE EATS ACT (H.R.4417/S.2019, 118TH)
Introduced by Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, H.R.4417/S.2019, would strip certain lawmaking powers from states and consolidate those powers within the federal government. If enacted into law, the EATS Act would wipe out thousands of state and local laws in the agriculture policy jurisdiction. These laws often benefit family farms over international conglomerates, including those based in China and Brazil.
