"I worked hard to pass legislation that has been signed into law by @POTUS that supports our farmers, agriculture economy, and rural communities in Wisconsin and across America.

I am very proud that we are making investments that support the Dairy Business Innovation Initiative, Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, and research priorities for our dairy, specialty crop, and organic farmers.

As Chair of the Agriculture Appropriations Committee I made sure $25 million is included for the Dairy Business Innovation Initiative with Wisconsin receiving a $1 million increase. #DairyPride

The federal funding legislation that has now been signed into law brings home over $39 million for the @UWMadison Plant Germplasm Research Facility. #OnWisconsin

We also provide significant funding so that our farmers and ranchers have the tools to increase efficiency, reduce crop loss, and continue to be world leaders in productivity and sustainability.

With investments in clean water infrastructure, additional broadband funding to help bridge the digital divide in rural areas, and support to make housing more affordable, our legislation delivers results for rural communities across our country.

12 million children have struggled with food insecurity and I worked to secure new resources to help families put food on the table and reduce childhood hunger. We also ensure that over 4 million low-income women and children do not see their support reduced at the end of April.

We also got the job done to better support rural businesses and farmers so that we are strengthening our supply chain and building a stronger and more resilient agriculture economy.

The federal funding legislation I worked to pass, voted for, and that has been signed into law by
@POTUS makes sure rural communities in Wisconsin are supported, and not left behind, as we work together to build a better America."
