The House passes the Farm Bill

The farm bill passed the House.

A few amendments that are included:
- Rep. Luna's bill to strip pesticide liability protections
- Save Our Bacon Act
- Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act
- Rep. Steube's provision stopping foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland.

"This Farm Bill was not written in the halls of Congress, but in the fields and rural communities across our great nation. Every provision is a direct reflection of what we learned during each of the more than 150 listening sessions the Agriculture Committee held." House Ag Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson, via X.

Year-round E15 language was removed from the bill. Members say it will be voted on separately after recess.

County Convention is this this evening. I am asking for your support of my fellow community leader and friend Lana Soldat. She is self-motivated, enthusiastic, and a fair individual. She bleeds republican values and she would make a great leader if the 17th. Please consider voting for her at the county convention this evening. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for your consideration!🇺🇸

It was a good race, but at the end of the day I didn’t come out ahead. I worked hard and ran for all the right reasons. Thanks for everyone who was encouraging and supported me through this race. I have met so many great people along the way.
