Very difficult and unprecedented times for food and agriculture! Hopefully we are “flattening “ the bottom of the curve!

It is great to see USDA purchasing much needed food to restock the food banks as 30 million Americans are unemployed and relying on food banks for the food needs.

So proud of #FueledByTurners Dairy and all the dairy industry and the efforts of @SecretarySonny and the USDA for initiating the Farmers to Families Food Boxes! It is a win-win-win. Win for dairy farmers, dairy processors and all our fellow citizens that need food during the pandemic!

It is so gratifying to see the Farmers to Families Food Boxes delivered to so many families and to know the incredible job USDA Ag Mktg Service did to turn an idea into reality in such a short time! People in food and agriculture always come together to help each other!

We were so pleased to be joined by @Xprize Founder Peter H. Diamandis, MD at #DairyForum to talk about innovation, disruption, and opportunities for breakthroughs in the dairy industry. Peter’s message: Every industry is disruptable & you likely don’t know who your true competition is.

I applaud Reps Glenn "GT" Thompson and Archived: Congressman Antonio Delgado for introducing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. As everyone knows, #milk is the best, most affordable way to ensure youngsters get the vitamins and minerals they need to grow up strong and healthy.

Thank you to Senator Senator Jerry Moran for raising the important issue of standards of identity review and modernization for food standards this morning. IDFA stands ready and willing to work with U.S. FDA to make standards modernization a reality that benefits everyone.

Delays at American ports are hurting SD businesses. Valley Queen Cheese in Milbank exports millions of pounds of lactose a year – that product is ready to ship but there aren’t enough containers to get the product out. Congress should pass #OSRA21 & get the supply chain moving.

I am very proud of our dairy industry for taking the proactive step to announce the Healthy School Milk today. It was great to have so many allied stakeholders around one table today. A special thank you to Deputy Undersecretary Stacy Dean for participating!

We are confident that President-elect Donald Trump is choosing leaders Brooke Rollins for USDA and Robert F. Kennedy Jr for HHS who understand that safe, reliable food systems are the foundation of health and wellness for our great nation.
