AFBF urges administration to increase domestic energy production

American Farm Bureau is asking President Biden to address high energy costs by increasing domestic energy production.

Andrew Walmsley, senior director of congressional relations with AFBF, says Russia’s attack on Ukraine caused already-high energy prices to skyrocket.

“We’ve seen energy prices increasing— up almost 130% since January 2021,” he says. “They were on the rise and the international events caused a humanitarian crisis, impacting all types of markets, but in particular our energy markets.
