Iowa farmers will feed and fuel the world

The 2022 planting season is nearly complete. I’m optimistic about the coming months and how Iowa farmers will feed and fuel the world.

This attitude has been felt in Washington where Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Joni Ernst have shown their support for the Growing Climate Solutions Act. This bipartisan legislation gives the agriculture community a seat at the table and makes it easier for farmers to participate in voluntary carbon markets.

I am thankful Representative Marianette Miller-Meeks is championing this legislation so that farmers can continue to preserve our future. She has always shown her support for the agriculture community, and I look forward to Iowa continuing to lead the way on stewardship.
