H.R. 7716 — Tariff Free Farming Act

This section prohibits the imposition of any tariff or duty exceeding the normal trade relations rate as of January 19, 2025, on specified agricultural inputs imported from countries granted normal trade relations by the United States, notwithstanding any other law or regulation (including emergency tariff authorities). Agricultural inputs include: (1) seed (e.g., corn, soybean, wheat); (2) fertilizer (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potash); (3) crop protection chemicals (e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fungicides); (4) livestock feed; (5) fuel and energy articles (e.g., diesel, propane, electricity); (6) machinery and equipment (e.g., tractors, combines, replacement parts, specialty crop harvesters); (7) building materials (e.g., steel, lumber, fencing); (8) veterinary supplies and medicines; and (9) other supplies and components necessary for farm production. (Thus, this provision protects U.S. agricultural producers from tariff increases on these essential imports.)
