HOEVEN VOTES TO RESTORE TARIFFS ON SOLAR PANELS THAT UTILIZE CHINA-MANUFACTURED PARTS

May 05, 2023

Senator John Hoeven today issued the following statement after voting for a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to impose tariffs on solar panels utilizing parts manufactured in China. The resolution would repeal a rule issued by the Biden administration waiving tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, despite evidence that manufacturers in these countries are utilizing parts from China, circumventing U.S. antidumping and tariff laws. The resolution passed the Senate by a vote of 56-41.

“We need to push back on China’s predatory trade practices and prevent dumping in the U.S. solar panel market, which would undermine our domestic energy industry,” said Hoeven. “By issuing this waiver, the Biden administration is enabling manufacturers in these four countries to circumvent our nation’s laws. Our nation cannot afford to become more reliant on China, particularly for energy. This resolution will not only uphold the law, it is a step towards supporting U.S. energy independence.”

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
