Agriculture
Randy grew up working on farms, frequently walking beans and doing chores. His in-laws run a livestock and crop farm in Sioux County, where he helps out along with his wife and four kids – spending many weekends bailing hay, loading hogs, vaccinating cattle, and maintaining seven finishing sites.
He knows first-hand that corn and soybean growers -- along with our livestock, egg, dairy, poultry, ethanol, and biodiesel producers -- form the backbone of the 4th District’s economy. As the second largest ag producing district in the country, Randy serves as a voice for Iowa's hardworking farmers, giving them a seat at the table on the House Agriculture Committee.

It has now been a little over a year since more than 77 million Americans voted for President Trump in a landslide victory. From stopping the largest tax hike in U.S. history to completely shutting down our border, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have worked hard to deliver on this mandate and usher in an era of American greatness and prosperity. One of President Trump’s main focuses since his election has been supporting our farmers and producers.

Family farms, small businesses, and local manufacturers are the backbone of Iowa’s economy.

In Iowa, agriculture is more than an industry, it’s the backbone of our economy and a pillar of our identity.
Our corn and soybean growers, cattle producers, hog farmers and rural communities punch above their weight, and with the passage of the Working Families Tax Cuts, Congress punched back for them.
This bill is pro-work, pro-farmer and pro-America.
