“If a country can’t feed itself, fuel itself, or fight for itself, it cannot survive.”
Thank you for your leadership, Gov. @SarahHuckabee Sanders.
Durnell ruling is a win for farmers and innovation.
Predatory litigation and third-party litigation funding can turn the legal process into a business model. It can stifle innovation and ultimately deprive farmers of the tools they need to combat pests and produce food and fiber
Today’s SCOTUS ruling in Monsanto v. Durnell affirms that the EPA – not state courts – has the authority to regulate the crop protection tools American farmers depend on. These products are essential to defending our food, fiber, and fuel supply from the pests and weeds that would otherwise devastate yields and drive up costs for every American. I’m glad the Court upheld this standard that gives farmers more certainty while feeding, clothing, and fueling our nation.

To the ones who plant, to the ones who harvest, to the ones who feed the Natural State, happy Arkansas Agriculture Week!
Great to have @DepSecVaden in Arkansas to celebrate.

Yesterday, @arkansassoybean took decisive action to protect Arkansas farmers. In a unanimous vote, the board prohibited the use of state soybean checkoff dollars for any research that would benefit foreign countries, including Brazil, Argentina, and China.

Second day, of the Food Nutritionist Program for the Farm School Coordinator (Leslee Tell) with the Arkansas Department of Agriculture.
The focus was promoting Arkansas rice to our school children — connecting the farm to the cafeteria. It was also media day, spotlighting the importance of agriculture, nutrition, and supporting our local farmers. @ARDeptAg @RiceArkansas @usaricenews @RicelandFoods

Congratulations to my friend and fellow Arkansan Nathan Reed, on being elected Chairman of the National Cotton Council!
I know you’ll work hard for Arkansas farmers and the entire cotton industry.
Former @AgCouncilofAr President Nathan Reed officially assumed the role as Chairman of the National Cotton Council this morning. We are very proud of this moment, & we look forward to his efforts to lead this important organization in the coming year.

Farmers want to be allowed to fix their own equipment. They are RIGHT and the Trump admin couldn’t agree more, which is why we are advancing farmers’ RIGHT TO REPAIR. New op-ed with @SecRollins @SBA_Kelly newsweek.com/cabinet-members…

Congratulations to @NCottonCouncil President Nathan Reed.
As a farmer from Marianna, Arkansas, Nathan understands firsthand what it takes to sustain a strong and competitive agricultural operation. He brings a proven record of leadership and a deep understanding of both the challenges and opportunities facing America’s cotton growers.
Chairman @JohnBoozman has had the pleasure of working alongside him on behalf of Natural State farmers and knows firsthand he is a trusted and well-respected voice for producers, a wealth of knowledge on farming issues and deeply committed to agriculture and the rural communities that depend on it.

Great to see @charleslw3 with @SecRollins and @JohnBoozman and @POTUS at the @WhiteHouse today representing Arkansas! @FarmVoiceAR
When Arkansas farmers need a voice, Charles Williams is already speaking. Proud of our fellow FarmVoice member for his leadership helping American farmers as well as the AR Rice Research & Promotion Board.
Arkansas farmers are better off because of you, @charleslw3! 🌾🇺🇸

A crucial part of growing rice for me, is being able to remove the straw. We waited more than 50 days for the right wind to come through along the highway to be safe.

Had a great last day of my annual farm tour in Northeast Arkansas, meeting with the men and women who keep our nation running.
It’s a tough time for our farmers. But our farmers are tougher - and with a strong President leading the way, we’ll get through this year.
Thank you for your abiding interest in, and constant consideration of, farmers—especially in this time of severe financial stress and challenge.
I spoke with President @realDonaldTrump this morning about immediate relief for our farmers and am so grateful for his leadership to help save our ag community. A nation that can’t feed itself cant survive, and no one understands that or does more to support farmers than President Trump.
