Eisner Attends the 92nd Annual OH Farmer’s Convention

Ohio District 7 Congressional Candidate Michael Eisner (D) attended the Ohio Farmers’ Union Convention. Michael Eisner was the only candidate in the race for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District race to attend, with incumbent Max Miller (R) not attending either. 

On January 31st at the Farmer’s Union Convention important conversations and information was relayed between our state’s farmers, policymakers, and leaders. One important message emerged among all the discussions Saturday evening and it was, the agricultural industry is facing a crisis with current policies. Farmers across the Buckeye State relayed how input costs have hurt their pockets from seed costs, to machinery, to electricity/utility prices. While our local farmers struggle with their bills, a shrinking market due to tariffs hurts production of soybeans making the margins slimmer for those struggling. Additionally, healthcare costs are rising for farmers due to Max Miller’s vote for the “Big Beautiful Bill”. 

From Lima to righter in Ohio’s 7th District, rising costs and a shrinking market are putting our nation’s farmers at risk and in debt. “What our farmers need is a Farm Bill that helps relieve their pockets and do the hard work of feeding our nation”, said Michael Eisner. “Farmers also deserve government officials who listen to them and speak the truth. They’re tired of false promises and yes-man, like Max Miller who allows our farmers to fall behind nations like China.” 

“The system is leading to monopolization where only a handful of wealthy individuals control inputs and markets making life for working Ohioans harder.” While discussions lead to exchanging of ideas and laying groundwork for solutions it is clear that Ohio farmers need action and leadership now. “Farmers in Ohio’s 7th District need a fighter to deliver for them and I am ready to fight for them”.
