Cramer Denounces EWG Distorted Attacks on Crop Insurance

Statement

Today Congressman Kevin Cramer made the following comments concerning the recent Environmental Working Group's (EWG) report on planted prevention more commonly known as crop insurance.

"EWG's attack on farmers continues with their latest report on crop insurance. The EWG's report uses cherry picked data to fit their pre-determined conclusions in an attempt to eliminate the crop insurance program. North Dakota's producers would much rather be producing crops than depend on crop insurance. The insurance only helps them survive until the next year. Farmers in North and South Dakota should not be penalized because of the abnormally wet weather cycle in recent years. They work very hard to produce the food needed to feed a growing world."
