How do we reduce farm loss? Climate smart agriculture, local and regional food systems, local food procurement, research into fertilizers and other agricultural technologies, and more. The opportunities are there. “It’s up to you” -Dept. of Agriculture Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack

Great to have Rocky Mountain Farmers Union at my office in DC this week to talk about our local farmers’ needs as we draft the 2023 Farm Bill. From crop insurance, to conservation, and grant accessibility, I’m proud to be a voice for western farmers, ranchers, and producers on House Agriculture Committee Democrats.

Our farmers can’t always afford to take their tractors to a dealer miles away or wait weeks for repairs during harvest season. It's why we're introducing a bill to give producers flexibility to repair their ag equipment when, where, and how they want. gluesenkampperez.house.gov/posts/gluesenk…

The introduction of the Agricultural Right to Repair Act is an important step in our fight to ensure farmers across the country have fair and affordable access to the parts, tools, and information they need to fix farm equipment. NFU stands ready to push this bill forward.

Great day touring United Power, Inc. in Brighton. And I got to share good news with partners like Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, Colorado Farm Bureau, & @COBank! My bipartisan Strengthening Rural Cooperatives & Communities Act will provide relief for rural cooperatives & invest in underserved communities.

RMFU applauds Attorney General Weiser for filing this complaint to block the merger between Kroger and Albertsons that would have detrimental effects on farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

A bill we brought forth with the family farmers in the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union is headed to the Governor to be signed into law. I hope future budget committees and the Governor will prioritize funding these important programs to meet our farmers and ranchers where they are.

Appreciate Santa Fe New Mexican giving landowner voices like mine a chance to be heard... "BLM’s methane waste rule represents real progress, but the journey toward truly responsible stewardship of our public lands and protection of our communities continues." santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_vie…
