SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FARMERS
While China redoubles its efforts to buy up American farmland, we cannot sit on the sidelines.
That’s why I introduced the Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act to help the next generation of farmers navigate the financial challenges of food production.

VISITING IOWA LAKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE
I recently enjoyed visiting Iowa Lakes Community College in Emmetsburg as part of my Feenstra Agriculture Tour and my 36 County Tour.
I had the chance to tour the college farm, meet with students, and talk about my Community College Agriculture Advancement Act. I will continue to work to make sure that our kids can be successful and keep Iowa the best state in the nation to live, work, and raise a family!

BIDENOMICS IS FAILING OUR FAMILIES
Bidenomics has cost American families an extra $709 every month on top of soaring interest rates and sky-high housing costs. His economic agenda is a complete and total failure.
That's why House Republicans are pushing to lower taxes and end wasteful spending that is crushing our families, farmers, small businesses, and rural communities.

MY FARM BILL TOWN HALL IN BRITT
On Friday, I continued my 36 County Tour and Feenstra Agriculture Tour with a Farm Bill town hall in Britt.
I appreciate the input of producers and folks like Jim Boyer and Al Giese – who both serve on my Agriculture Advisory Board – as we craft a strong Farm Bill for Iowa.

MY TOUR OF THE CHRISTENSEN FARMS FEED MILL IN WINNEBAGO COUNTY
It was great to have my colleague from the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN), join me at the Christensen Farms Feed Mill in Winnebago County as part of my 36 County Tour and Feenstra Agriculture Tour.
We covered our work in Congress to prevent foreign animal disease outbreaks in the U.S. and promote biosecurity for our farms.

ONE LAST THING: FLIPPING BURGERS AT THE FAIR
I enjoyed flipping pork burgers and catching up with my former intern, Luke Nieuwendorp, at the Fair.
It is always great catching up with my former interns and visiting with folks at the fair. I’d say we grilled up some good burgers too!

MY WEEKLY COLUMN: KEEPING CHINA FAR AWAY FROM AMERICAN FARMLAND
In rural America, our farmland is our most valuable, yet finite, asset. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the United States is home to over two million farms spanning nearly 894 million acres. This expansive acreage has cemented our position as the third largest agriculture-producing country in the world.
However, our abundance of desirable farmland also serves as a potential target for our enemies – especially China – to infiltrate our rural communities, hijack our agriculture supply chains, and buy up American farmland at an alarming pace. Serving on the both the House Agriculture Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee, I am working hard to keep American farmland in the hands of American farmers – where it rightfully belongs.
