Agriculture
Senator Dorgan grew up in the rural community of Regent, N.D., where his family raised cattle and horses and worked in the farm equipment and fuel business. He learned at an early age the value of hard work and the importance of the family farm to our state and nation.
When he was elected to Congress, Dorgan quickly became one of the nation’s strongest advocates of family farmers and ranchers. Senator Dorgan has fought throughout his career for agriculture and trade policies that stand up for the economic interests of our producers.
