Our farmers feed the country. Every day, they rise before the sun and work long hours to ensure that families across America have food on their tables. They care for the land, support our rural communities, and serve as the backbone of our agricultural economy. If farmers are willing to take care of the nation, then the nation must be willing to take care of farmers. That means making sure they have the resources, stability, and support they need to continue doing this essential work.

​

I am committed to strengthening the future of agriculture by increasing financial support for farmers through accessible loans, grants, and programs that help them weather economic uncertainty. In Wisconsin, especially, we must provide stronger support for dairy farmers who play such a vital role in our state’s identity and economy. We must also invest in rural infrastructure. From roads and broadband to water systems, we must invest so that farming communities can thrive. At the same time, we must protect farmers from harmful and irresponsible tariff policies that create instability in global markets and make it harder for them to sell their products.

Farming is one of the most demanding and stressful professions in the country, and the pressures of the job can take a real toll. That’s why we must expand access to mental health services in rural communities so that farmers and their families have the support they deserve. We must also continue working toward meaningful improvements in water quality, protecting both our agricultural future and the natural resources that sustain it. When we invest in our farmers, we invest in the strength, resilience, and long-term prosperity of our nation.
