Agency reviews need to be
streamlined with all unneces-
sary red-tape cut out.”
CLINTON: “Our goal
should be to ind policy solu-
tions that are grounded in
science and respect consum-
ers. Hillary understands the
need for a national solution
to the GMO labeling question
— one that provides consis-
tency to food companies and
consumers across state lines.
And she is glad Republicans
and Democrats have worked
together to build a bipartisan
solution to this issue.”

that America’s ranchers and
farmers are proud stewards of
their lands, and that America’s
wildlife depend on the health
of working lands to survive
and thrive. That is why she
will increase both the avail-
ability and accessibility of
funding to incentivize volun-
tary private conservation. For
example, Hillary will work to
fully fund the Environmental
Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP) and will instruct her
Secretary of Agriculture to
establish a “one-stop shop”
to help farmers and ranchers
identify programs that can
provide inancial support for
their conservation practices,
including securing additional
access for sportsmen, includ-
ing hunters.
Hillary also believes that
we should be doing more to
slow and reverse the decline of
at-risk wildlife species before
they reach the brink of extinc-
tion and need the protection of
the Endangered Species Act.
To this end, Hillary will pro-
pose nearly doubling the State
and Tribal Wildlife Grants
program to $100 million per
year. This type of support for
the voluntary conservation
of at-risk wildlife can help
reduce the need for species
to receive the protections of
the Endangered Species Act
(ESA). For wildlife that are
listed as threatened or en-
dangered, Hillary will direct
federal agencies to take full
advantage of the lexible tools
available under the ESA that
respect and accommodate
landowner interests, including
safe harbor agreements, hab-
itat conservation agreements,
and other forms of voluntary
conservation measures.”
Immigration
CLINTON:
“Hillary
knows that migrant farm-
workers play a critical role
in developing and supporting
our agricultural economy.
She has heard from farmers
across the country who have
expressed their frustrations
about our broken immigration
system.
That’s why as president,
Hillary will introduce com-
prehensive immigration re-
form with a pathway to full
and equal citizenship within
her irst 100 days in ofice. It
will treat every person with
dignity, ix the family visa
backlog, uphold the rule of
law, protect our borders and
national security, and bring
millions of hardworking peo-
ple into the formal economy.
Hillary understands that the
agricultural industry needs
comprehensive immigration
reform to protect both farm
owners and the workers they
employ, and ensure American
families are able to put af-
fordable, fresh food on their
tables.”
TRUMP: “I recognize the
unique labor challenges fac-
ing the American farm com-
munity and will include farm-
ers and ranchers in the process
of determining the best possi-
ble immigration policies. To
be clear, the Obama-Clinton
system of open borders is
wreaking havoc on our ru-
ral communities. Enormous
stresses are being placed on
state and local government
services, while jobs for Amer-
ican citizens and wages for
American workers are in de-
cline. Here are my three core
principles of real immigration
reform:
1. A nation without borders
is not a nation. There must be
a wall across the southern bor-
der.
2. A nation without laws is

not a nation. Laws passed in
accordance with our Constitu-
tional system of government
must be enforced.
3. A nation that does not
serve its own citizens is not a
nation. Any immigration plan
must improve jobs, wages and
security for all Americans.
Trade/TPP
TRUMP: “As President,
I will be an aggressive pro-
ponent for defending the
economic interests of Amer-
ican workers and farmers on
the world stage. I will ight
against unfair trade deals
and foreign trade practices
that disadvantage the United
States.
“I strongly oppose TPP as
drafted and will work hard to
develop trade agreements that
are in the national interest and
beneit American workers in-
cluding our farmers.”
CLINTON: “Hillary has
a long record of standing up
to countries like China. She
fought against the Chinese
when they tried to discrimi-
nate against New York com-
panies, and she went toe-to-
toe with them as Secretary of
State. As president, Hillary
will also crack down on for-
eign countries who cheat the
rules by appointing a new
trade prosecutor to keep oth-
er countries honest, and will
use all of our tools to en-
sure other countries treat our
products fairly, including our
anti-dumping and counter-
vailing duty laws, and pursu-
ing taking cases at the WTO.
Hillary has also established a
plan to stop rewarding U.S.
companies for moving jobs
overseas.”
On TPP — “For genera-
tions, America has been the
breadbasket of the world. Hil-
lary believes we can and must
forge better trade deals for
American workers, farmers,
and other businesses. She be-
lieves any trade deal must cre-
ate American jobs, raise wag-
es, and improve our national
security. Every new trade deal
must meet that test.
In fact, Hillary opposed the
only multilateral trade deal
she voted on in the Senate be-
cause it didn’t meet that stan-
dard. And as soon as the de-
tails of the inal TPP deal were
inalized — including what it
contains on currency manipu-
lation and pharmaceuticals —
she came out in opposition.
It didn’t meet her standard.
The TPP also contains a weak
“rules of origin” standard
on automobiles that gives a
backdoor into our markets to
countries like China. Hillary
has been clear and speciic in
her opposition to the TPP. She
opposes it now, she opposes it
in November, and she will not
move it forward in January.”
Farm Bill
CLINTON:
“Hillary
knows the Farm Bill’s reau-
thorization presents an incred-
ibly important opportunity to
set both our agricultural and
rural development policy pri-

orities — which are central
to our economy, energy, and
food security.
That’s why she will work
to ensure we provide a fo-
cused safety net for farmers
and ranchers by continuing
to make progress in target-
ing federal resources in com-
modity payment, crop insur-
ance, and disaster assistance
programs — which is all the
more important with current
commodity market prices.
She will also support the
next generation of farmers by
doubling funding for the Be-
ginning Farmer and Rancher
Development program and
strengthening USDA grant
programs to make them less
about bureaucratic buck-
ets and more about funding
lexibility, leveraging local
resources, and measuring re-
sults.
The Farm Bill also pro-
vides the opportunity to im-
prove and enhance our rural
development programs that
are so pivotal to raising the
standard of living in many ru-
ral communities — including
programs to enhance broad-
band access, improve soil
health and manage wastewa-
ter, and expand access to cred-
it for small businesses.”
TRUMP: “The Trump-
Pence Administration will
be an active participant in
writing the next Farm Bill
and delivering it on time!
Our farmers deserve a good
farm bill written by those
who are thankful for our re-
markable food system in this
country.
I support a strong safety
net for our nation’s farmers.
“Importantly, I have as-
sembled an Agriculture Ad-
visory Committee comprised
of leaders who represent the
best that America can offer to
help serve agricultural com-
munities. Many of these of-
icials have been elected by
their communities to solve the
issues that impact our rural ar-
eas every day. I’m very proud
to stand with these men and
women, and look forward to
serving with them in serving
all Americans from the White
House.
Biotechnology
TRUMP: “I support the
use of technology in food
production, which has en-
abled American farmers to
increase yields to levels nev-
er before experienced in the
history of the world. Through
innovation, American farm-
ers are producing crops more
resilient to drought, heat, and
pests. Government should not
block positive technological
advancements in agriculture.
Food safety
CLINTON: “Due to the
ingenuity of America’s farmers
and ranchers, consumers across
the world have access to better,
safer, and a wider variety of
food options than ever before.
Hillary Clinton believes that
supporting that ingenuity goes
hand in hand with ensuring
food quality and safety.
That’s why, as president,
Hillary will ight to increase
our investment in the basic
and applied research that
makes agricultural advance-
ments possible.
She will also ight to en-
sure that America’s farmers
and ranchers of all sizes have
the tools they need to succeed.
That means expanding access
to capital; investing in rural
transportation, water, and
broadband infrastructure; and
continuing to make progress
in targeting federal resources
in commodity payment, crop
insurance, and disaster assis-
tance programs.
Hillary also believes we
should work to build a strong
local and regional food sys-
tem by doubling funding for
the Farmers Market Promo-
tion Program and the Local
Food Promotion Program.
By expanding food hubs and
farmers markets, increasing
access to fresh food, and en-
couraging direct sales to local
schools, hospitals, retailers
and wholesalers, we can in-
crease consumer access to
food and support American
farmers and ranchers.”
“As president, Hillary will
always engage a wide range
of stakeholders, including
farmers and ranchers, to hear
their concerns and ideas for
how we can ensure our rural
communities and our agri-
culture sector remain vibrant.
If there are implementation
challenges with a particular
regulation, Hillary will work
with all stakeholders to ad-
dress them.”
TRUMP: “The Trump Ad-
ministration will be a pro-ag-
riculture
Administration.
As President, I will ight for
American farmers and their
families.
Through hard work, per-
sistence and innovation, and
making wise use of our na-
tion’s God-given lands and
resources, American farmers
are the best in the world at
growing the food and other
products that people need to
lourish. Growing our farm
sector and supporting our na-
tion’s farmers are absolutely
critical steps to making Amer-
ica great again.
Too often, bad policies and
needless government man-
dates harm farmers and make
food and farm products more
costly for consumers. I sup-
port, and will implement, pol-
icies that are good for farmers
and consumers. For example,
I oppose unwarranted govern-
ment mandates that hurt farm-
ers and confuse consumers,
such as mandatory biotech
labeling. I will also ight for
tax reform that reduces tax
burdens on American farmers.
We will end the death
tax. I will reverse the EPA’s
war on farmers by rescind-
ing the Waters of the U.S.
rule, climate rule, and the
host of other regulations that
are harming farmers without
helping the environment. I
will appoint justices to the
Supreme Court who will de-
fend the 2nd Amendment.
Hillary Clinton will appoint
justices who will eviscerate
2nd Amendment rights. Most
importantly, we will get the
entire U.S. economy growing
again, which will be a boon
to the Agriculture sector as
well.”
