![United States Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry PUBLISHED: JANUARY 23RD, 2025
As we discussed, I have concerns about some of the proposed policies from the Administration, and while I have always supported targeted tariffs, I'm concerned that major across-the-board tariff increases could hurt rural America. I hope that if confirmed that Mrs. Rollins will make the case for sensible trade policy that will work for our farmers in rural America.
We also need leaders of the USDA that believe in science and research, which is so critical right now. I know many of our members will be asking [questions] on that front.
As a Ranking Member of this Committee, I'm committed to doing what's right for rural America, which means finding common ground when we can but standing our ground where we must.
In Minnesota, our prosperity depends on the strength and vitality of our rural communities. Farmers and livestock producers need access to safety net programs, which with weather conditions threatening all the time, input costs, and the like. And rural businesses can't spur innovation and create jobs without an available workforce, which I think is going to be an issue we'll be confronting this year, as well as child care, health care, housing, and broadband. I know this is true not just for me but for all members of this Committee.
And I look forward to the hearing today, and to learning more about Mrs. Rollins your plans for the Department of Agriculture. Thank you very much, and thank you to our colleagues.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ct7y3pxib6sprx6njtva6xnm/bafkreiamdcxpihbdtbcw7t6tahgn5ndgy356y5jncc425y2hxcbchvukmm)
