Issues: Agriculture and Food

Heidi knows that agriculture is the backbone of North Dakota's economy.

As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Heidi worked across the aisle to write, negotiate, and help pass a Farm Bill with a strong crop insurance program and farm safety net. And when North Dakota farmers were hurt by burdensome regulations from Washington, Heidi had their backs and stood up to both the EPA and her own party.

With low commodity prices and a devastating drought, Heidi successfully fought to ensure that North Dakota farmers and ranchers were eligible for federal relief programs and pushed for expanded staffing at Farm Service Agency offices As Congress begins writing the 2018 Farm Bill, Heidi will make sure North Dakota farmers and ranchers have a prime seat at the negotiating table.
