Consumers’ Research, a leader in the anti-ESG movement, has launched a new ad campaign arguing ESG hurts agriculture and opposing the inclusion of ESG initiatives in revisions to the federal Farm Bill:
| “ |
Consumers’ Research, a leading anti-ESG group, wrote to top lawmakers on agricultural issues in a letter obtained first by The Hill and launched billboards and television ads warning against the risks of including certain policies in potential legislation. 'Simply put, Americans cannot afford to allow the same ESG regime currently infecting corporate boardrooms to gain purchase on family farms,' Will Hild, the organization’s director, wrote a letter to Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), the chair and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, respectively, and Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) and Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.), the chair and ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, respectively. 'The interests of consumers and the health of American agriculture must be paramount as Congress determines how to revise the Farm Bill,' he added. 'In crafting the bill, Congress must ensure that ESG and onerous climate initiatives are kept far away.'[1] |
