The hands, hearts, and hard work of Iowa’s farmers feed and fuel our world.
Unfortunately, input costs are rising and inflation is driving profits down. Iowa pork producers are experiencing their worst losses in 25 years. Frankly, producers are facing enough difficulties without worrying about D.C. hurting their business. They deserve far better than to be saddled with the consequences of politicians not doing their job.
That’s why I’ve been fighting for a bipartisan Farm Bill to provide certainty to Iowa’s farmers and rural communities that:
- Strengthens the farm safety net and increases commodity prices
- Improves protection for man’s best friend, who could be suffering at puppy mills across the country
- Enhances support for rural job creators
- Boosts broadband service for rural communities
- Invests in nutrition programs to ensure even the most vulnerable have access to food
- Bolsters cybersecurity for agribusinesses and rural water systems
- Supports innovation in biofuels, ensuring we’re unleashing American energy with a homegrown solution
- Streamlines conservation standards to support the latest technology and methods
- Ensures the next generation of young and beginning farmers are ready to take over the family farm
