- Carly Fiorina spoke against government regulation of farming at the Iowa Corn Growers Association's annual meeting in August 2015. She said, “I have seen the agriculture industry almost destroyed in the state of California. By bad policies and bad politics. We have seen industry after industry after industry decimated, we are seeing the most productive agricultural land in the world – in the Central valley of California – being destroyed by the Environmental Protection Agency." Fiorina added, “Let us establish 2022 as the end point, let’s have a level playing field from now until 2022. But in 2022, the government needs to get out of all this. Fossil fuels, sugar, corn subsidies – government needs to get out of all it.”[2]
- In March 2015, Fiorina proposed phasing out all subsidies. She said, "We need to phase out sugar, oil and renewable fuels but do it at the same time so that we're not disadvantaging any one state or industry."[3]
