FIGHTING TO SECURE OUR BORDER This morning, I submitted written testimony to the House Judiciary Committee to encourage passage of two bills that I have introduced to secure our border. My Build the Wall and Fight Fentanyl Act will seize money from the drug cartels to finish the wall and combat the fentanyl epidemic. Sarah’s Law will hold illegal immigrants who seriously harm or kill American citizens accountable for their actions. Let’s secure our border for good. WORKING TO MAKE E-15 AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND PERMANENTLY Homegrown ethanol – of which our district is the top producer nationwide – can make our country energy independent again, end our reliance on our foreign adversaries for our energy needs, and make life more affordable for our families. In Iowa, we know that E-15 means lower gas prices and lower emissions. Specifically, according to industry estimates, E-15 saves drivers anywhere between 15 and 30 cents a gallon, eliminates the need to import roughly 700 million barrels of foreign oil every single year, and reduces emissions by 46%. That’s why – in conjunction with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle from Iowa and across the Midwest – we are working to pass our Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act. This legislation would cut through the bureaucratic red tape and finally permit the nationwide sale of E-15 year-round – permanently – ending our reliance on EPA’s subjective rule-making process. Opinion: Look no further than Iowa for America's... In this opinion piece, Rep. Randy Feenstra R-Iowa, advocates for the passage of the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which would expand the sale of E-15 year-round.

I have been clear with my colleagues – on both sides of the aisle – that we need to get the Farm Bill written, passed, and signed into law as quickly as possible. From foreign animal disease prevention to robust crop insurance protections, American farmers, producers, and every industry that intersects with agriculture need Congress to focus on the task at hand and deliver a Farm Bill worthy of our hardworking farm families.

MY WEEKLY COLUMN: PROTECTING AMERICAN FARMLAND FROM BURDENSOME REGULATIONS Over the course of his administration, President Biden has jeopardized our gold standard of agriculture production with mountains of rules and regulations. He and his unruly Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have weaponized the power of the pen to impose burdensome mandates on our farmers and rural communities. From expanding the size and scope of WOTUS to proposing bans on pest control tools like rodenticide, the Biden administration has repeatedly demonstrated that it is out-of-touch with the needs and concerns of rural America. On November 3rd, I voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Department of the Interior appropriations bill, which would require explicit congressional approval of any regulation that would impact over 50% of American farmland.
