Agriculture

As a fourth-generation farmer raising the fifth, it is the honor of my lifetime to represent the men and women of southern Minnesota who wake up early and work late to produce the highest-quality, most affordable food supply in the world.  

Agriculture is one of the most honorable professions our country has to offer and remains the backbone of our communities across southern Minnesota. In Congress, I am committed to advancing strong farm policy that is written by farmers for farmers, and by rural communities for rural communities.  

I know firsthand that farmers are the best stewards of the land, because their livelihoods depend on it. That’s why federal policy must avoid creating unnecessary or burdensome obstacles for agriculture. My top priority is ensuring that our rural and farm communities always have a seat at the table in Washington.
