Issues
Agriculture & Manufacturing
Southern Missouri is home to the farms and ranches that supply the safest, most affordable supply of food in the world. By working with members of both parties to make sure a safety net stays in place for our family farms and ranches we're working to make sure American producers to continue to lead.
I continue to work on a bipartisan basis to ensure our Farm Bill programs remain solid and stable in the agriculture business, which is rife with risk and uncertainty. Ultimately, we are working to ensure that farms and ranches in Southern Missouri are not only successful, but in a position to be safely passed to the next generation of producers.
Fair and expanded markets are essential to the marketing of U.S. food products overseas. The concerns of Missouri farmers, ranchers and manufacturers remain foremost in my mind as I consider trade agreements with foreign countries and I am proud to be a leader in Congress in the effort to improve access to foreign markets around the globe.
One of Congress' most important responsibilities is oversight. As our farmers and ranchers work to produce the highest-quality product they can, they in turn deserve to earn premiere prices for their hard work. Unfair charges and fees imposed by the Federal Trade Commission hinder these efforts which is why it is critical we continue keep a close eye on the practices of the Federal Trade Commission.
