“TODAY’S FARM ASSISTANCE PACKAGE IS WELCOME NEWS AS WE WORK TO GET THE FARM ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK.
I APPLAUD PRESIDENT TRUMP AND SECRETARY ROLLINS FOR STEPPING UP TO ENSURE THAT AMERICA’S AG PRODUCERS HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO FEED AND FUEL OUR WORLD.
I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO PARTNER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO EXPAND TRADE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL CREATE STRONG MARKETS FOR NEBRASKA’S AG PRODUCTS.”
