Iowa leads the nation in the production of ethanol, which is made from corn. Ethanol is an affordable, renewable fuel that burns cleaner. Plus, it supports Iowa farmers and Iowa’s economy. Give E15 a try this Soil and Water Conservation Week! #IowaAg

This morning, I helped the Iowa Egg Council and North Central Poultry Association kick off #EggMonth2024 at the Food Bank of Iowa.

Iowa is #1 in egg production and today’s generous donation from the Egg Council will help many needy Iowans access delicious and nutritious protein! #IowaAg

May is Egg M🥚nth! No better way to kick it off than with a donation of 4,200 dozen to Food Bank of Iowa from the Iowa Egg Council. Secretary Mike Naig spoke at an event with farmers from our nation-leading egg industry. This donation will help many of our neighbors in need. #IowaAg

Cover crops are gaining ground in Iowa, which has topped 3.8 million acres of cover crops. This is a huge increase compared to just a few thousand acres a decade ago. We want to push this number significantly higher. We are just getting started! #IowaAg #CleanWaterIowa

#IA04 is the 2nd-largest ag-producing district in the country.

So, it’s vital #IA04 producers have a strong voice in Congress.

It’s why Rep. Randy Feenstra secured a seat on House Committee on Agriculture and advocates for Iowa farmers on Ways and Means Committee.

When it comes to #IowaAg , #FeenstraDelivers

As the number one pork producing state in the nation, Iowans know a good pork tenderloin sandwich when we see one! And SO MANY can be found all across the state! Make sure to nominate your favorite by June 3! #IowaAg Iowa Pork Producers

The death tax prevents #IA04 farmers from passing their farms and farmland to the next generation.

If we want to keep #IowaAg strong, we need to invest in our young producers and help them succeed.

That's why I introduced legislation to permanently repeal the death tax.
