96 [link removed] Fellow American,
Ranchers and
farmers are the unsung food heroes of today, keeping us all fed while we
stay safe at home during this COVID-19 crisis.
They don’t get a day off
during the pandemic — they’re expected to continue working the same long
hours to ensure that Americans have food to purchase to feed their
families.
As a Senator from Nebraska, my state is home to many of these
agricultural workers, including cattle ranchers, and farmers growing
crops for both food consumption and the renewable fuel industry.
This
dedicated group of people needs our help during these trying times.
We
must to address the decrease in fuel consumption and what it means for
our farmers. 40 percent of all corn grown in the U.S. goes to ethanol
plants. As most of the country has been staying “safe at home,” fuel use
has decreased dramatically. Our biofuel industry desperately needs
funding during these extremely difficult times.
I’m standing up for
these essential industries, and asking that Congress do something to
help them survive this pandemic. We need solutions to keep these farms
and ranches — many of them small, family-owned businesses — solvent
until we can get back to work.
We cannot leave agricultural workers
high and dry. I want you to know I’m taking action, and I will continue
to fight for these critical communities.
Sincerely,
Deb Fischer
P.S.
I know times are tough for all of us these days, but if you’re able,
will you
