Issue Position: Agriculture

Issue Position

Farmers and producers are a crucial part of the economy here in Iowa. Today, small family farms across Iowa are at risk due to the overzealous and hyperactive federal government.

Agencies like the EPA and FDA consistently overstep the boundaries of common sense with regulations like the "Waters of the US" (WOTUS) act and restrictions on farm dust. These agencies are making it increasingly difficult for family farms to effectively operate their small businesses.

I support expanding markets for Iowa's agricultural products and will fight for common sense free trade agreements that open up new markets for Iowa farmers. I also support measures like Fast Track Trade Authority that help expedite the approval process for free trade agreements.

I am proud to have been named a "Friend of Agriculture" by the Iowa Farm Bureau and am proud to support Iowa farmers and agricultural producers.
