Great to catch up with @smithrileyj with Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network about our @WaysandMeansGOP field hearing on tax reform and the need to pass the Farm Bill ASAP. We also talked about my bills to open new markets and lower the cost of crop insurance for our young farmers.

@Dustin_IAAgBiz @IowaAgRadio @slater_quentin @mAGnuson_IARN @LinkedIn @IowaStateFair Not every brain can complete these puzzles as quickly as mine🧠🧠🧠

Some of us at @IowaAgRadio, like myself, @slater_quentin, or @mAGnuson_IARN are working hard. But @smithrileyj is "busy" playing @LinkedIn games at the @IowaStateFair.

@allegro572 @Blueequus775 There is definitely still plenty of work to be done for the greater sage-grouse, though! Here's a link to the USDA NRCS website and the Sage Grouse Initiative: bit.ly/3VTyCpj. Ranchers can and must be a part of the solution! (2/2)

@allegro572 @Blueequus775 A recent study done by the University of Idaho actually showed that cattle grazing is not harmful to grouse: bit.ly/45Tx2bL. The University of Nevada, Reno, also carried out a study on how cattle grazing can actually benefit grouse: bit.ly/3VYdONH. (1/2)

I wonder if @smithrileyj in Iowa has ever visited public lands in the west to see what cattle do to Sage grouse habitat or the range. Has he read PEER reports on land health or gotten any figures on how much ranchers contribute economically minus the billions in subsidies?

STORY: As representatives of the top pork-producing state in the country, Iowa lawmakers were disappointed in the Supreme Court's Prop 12 decision, but they're countering with their own legislation. @smithrileyj talks with @RepAshleyHinson. Read here: bit.ly/43amnHc

#PROP12 stands up to legal challenges in the #SCOTUS . Effectively this gives an individual state the power over the other 49 to dictate how you should conduct business. Prepare for the #slipperyslope.

We all go through tough times. It’s OK to not be OK. But it is not OK to go at it alone. This #MentalHealthMonth, remember that small gestures and checking in with those in your network can make a big impact. Learn more about #FarmStateOfMind resources: bit.ly/3maQxdr
