Agriculture and Rural Issues
Agriculture and strong rural communities are central to Minnesota’s economy and culture. Our state is as vibrant as it is diverse, ranging from farm communities that feed our country to the awe-inspiring beauty of wilderness areas and national forests. As I travel around rural Minnesota talking to farmers, families, and small business owners, the strong Minnesota values of generosity, hard work, and innovation are evident everywhere. Decisions made at the federal level across all issues need to incorporate the unique needs of rural communities. In any policy debate in Congress, I will fight to ensure that the interests of agriculture and rural communities are represented and addressed.
