From sunrise to sunset, Nebraska’s ag producers work to feed and fuel our world.With one in four jobs being directly related to agriculture, it is no surprise the industry is the economic engine of our state. Nowhere is this more evident than in Nebraska’s Third District, the nation’s top ag-producing district, a leader in cow-calf, corn, and ethanol production.
As Chair of the Trade Subcommittee on the House Ways and Means Committee, I am focused on giving Nebraska’s number one industry the certainty and support it needs to thrive.With the joint review of the USMCA approaching, we have an important opportunity to strengthen and expand access to two of our most critical export markets. Canada and Mexico buy billions of dollars in Nebraska agricultural products each year. Ensuring strong enforcement and improved market access will help keep our producers competitive in an increasingly challenging global economy.
While this work happens in Washington, it is the conversations I have at home which serve as the guide and catalyst for my efforts.
