Feenstra Tours Northwest Iowa Agricultural Facilities with USDA Under Secretary Lindberg Highlighting Success of Iowa Agriculture

IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) joined U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Under Secretary Luke Lindberg to tour agricultural facilities across Northwest Iowa and meet with local leaders and workers to highlight the success of Iowa agriculture across the globe.

The tour included visits to the Blue Bunny factory in Le Mars, Agriculture Processing Incorporated in Sergeant Bluff, and Seaboard Triumph Foods in Sioux City.

“I was honored to join USDA Under Secretary Luke Lindberg in touring our world class agricultural facilities across Iowa, and to hear directly from our producers and manufacturers about how we continue to grow markets both at home and abroad,” said Rep. Feenstra. “From processing facilities to refineries, I had the opportunity to highlight the success of Iowa agriculture directly with Under Secretary Lindberg. As a top agricultural exporting state, Iowa plays a critical role in feeding and fueling the world, and expanding access to new international markets is essential to keeping our farmers competitive. That means strengthening trade relationships, breaking down barriers to U.S. products, and ensuring our producers have the tools they need to reach customers around the globe. I will continue working with President Trump, Under Secretary Lindberg, and our trade partners to open new doors for Iowa agriculture, increase demand for our homegrown commodities, and deliver stronger prices for our farmers and rural communities.”
