Marion, IA – Today, the Iowa Farm Bureau Political Action Committee endorsed Congresswoman Ashley Hinson for re-election, naming her a Friend of Agriculture.
“Iowa farmers work around the clock to feed and fuel the world, navigating rising input costs, supply chain issues, and natural disasters to ensure our food security,” said Congresswoman Ashley Hinson. “From championing our biofuels industry and working to expand access to E15, to empowering farmers with conservation technology and keeping federal regulators off of Iowa farms, I will always fight for our Iowa farmers and our rural economy.”
“We must elect our Friend of Agriculture candidates who are champions for agriculture and the hard-working Iowa families who make their living feeding and fueling the world. The backbone of Iowa’s economy is agriculture with one out of every three private-sector jobs being in agriculture and ag-related industries,” said Appanoose County farmer and IFBF PAC Chair, Danny Furlin.
