What's New:*

Last week, I led a roundtable discussion with
USDA Under Secretary Bill Northey and Montana's ag leaders on issues
critical to Montana ag.

Before the roundtable, Under Secretary
Northey and I had the opportunity to tour Ag Trucks and Equipment, a
custom farm application equipment manufacturer located in Great Falls. Ag
Trucks and Equipment's business operations were kept going because of
the help they received through the Paycheck Protection Program
(PPP).

At the
roundtable, I expressed support for ongoing assistance to Montana
farmers and ranchers impacted by COVID-19 and urged USDA and the Department
of Justice to actively coordinate efforts between the two agencies in
the ongoing investigations into allegations of market manipulation by
meat packers in the cattle industry.

Why It Matters: *

Montana farmers and
ranchers have faced tremendous new challenges because of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. That's why I brought USDA Under Secretary Northey to
Montana to hear directly from our farmers and ranchers on the issues
impacting our ag communities and what resources are available through
USDA.

What's Next: *

I am committed to fighting to ensure that Montana
farmers and ranchers have the resources they need to keep their ag
operations going during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To read more about
