Several U.S. lawmakers, including Rep. Nikki B, Rep. Feenstra, and Sen. Tester, have been actively engaging with local farmers and agricultural organizations to discuss the Farm Bill. They have emphasized the importance of passing a strong Farm Bill that protects crop insurance, opens new export markets, and addresses concerns about foreign investment in American farmland. Rep. Feenstra highlighted his efforts to ban China from buying American farmland and lower input costs for producers. Sen. Tester announced the endorsement of his bipartisan bill by Farm Bureau, aimed at improving how foreign investment in U.S. farmland is tracked for the benefit of food security and national security.
Thank you to @brownfield and nice seeing @BRNAgNews_MG again! Always a great discussion. https://t.co/hM5mrBr0Ae #cattlecon24
Yesterday, my Agriculture Legislative Assistant — Josh — met with the President of @iowa_corn, Jolene Riessen, who farms with her sons in Ida and Sac counties. I’m working to pass a strong Farm Bill for #IA04, lower input costs, and stop EPA overreach against our farmers. https://t.co/VIpQdKTxMs
Serving on @HouseAgGOP, I’m working to pass a strong Farm Bill for #IA04. We need to strengthen crop insurance, open new export markets for our farmers, ban China from buying American farmland, defend our farms from foreign animal disease & lower input costs for our producers.
Great news in our fight to protect American farmland: @FarmBureau has endorsed my bipartisan bill to improve how we track foreign investment in US farmland and agribusiness. Bottom line is, this commonsense measure is good for food security, and it’s good for national security.
Fantastic time talking to Kansas farmers and ranchers at the 2024 Kansas Commodity Classic last week! I reassured folks that I would fight for a Farm Bill that protects crop insurance, rolls back costly regulations, and helps our rural communities grow. https://t.co/Q22R4AzTj0
I had a great time meeting with our local farmers from @ILStewards today! Thanks for coming out to discuss how we can work together to get our Farm Bill priorities over the finish line. 🚜 https://t.co/acV1ArRrex
Last week, I held a Farm Bill town hall with #IA04 farmers in Treynor as part of my #FeenstraAgricultureTour. I reiterated that we’re working hard to pass a strong Farm Bill for Iowa and noted that my bill to ban China from buying American farmland passed the House last March. https://t.co/9ya4su03Zp
