Here in southeast and south-central Missouri, agriculture is our number one economic driver. Our farmers and ranchers produce the best agriculture products found anywhere in the world, including cattle, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, and peanuts.
As a cattle rancher and small business owner, I know first-hand that decisions made in Washington have a major impact on just about every aspect of our lives. And that’s just one of the many reasons I cannot wait for President-elect Donald Trump to return to the White House in January.
Whether it’s fighting for an America-first trade agenda, getting rid of burdensome regulations, or reining in government overreach, Trump is an incredible advocate for our rural communities. And with the team he’s assembled to lead federal agencies in charge of carrying out policies that significantly impact rural communities, I’m incredibly excited for what’s in store over the next four years.
Let’s start with former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin, Trump’s pick to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Lee is a strong ally of Trump and he will work around the clock to deliver for our farmers, ranchers, and small businesses – not the wealthy elite and radical environmentalists who the Biden administration has always put first. We can count on Zeldin to protect farmers, ranchers, and small businesses from regulations that create needless red tape, drive up energy costs, and dictate what we can or cannot do on our land.
I was also pleased with President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of the Department of Interior: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. The Department of Interior oversees the National Park Service (NPS), which has unfairly targeted and harassed so many families that live and work within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. I look forward to working with Trump’s Department of Interior to hold the NPS accountable for making Missouri residents feel like they’re not welcome on land their families have owned or visited for decades.
Brooke Rollins, Trump’s nominee for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary, is also a major win for Missouri. USDA is in charge of policies and programs that are critically important to rural areas, from funding economic development projects and broadband expansion to administering the farm safety net. In addition, USDA is in charge of writing rules like the mandate for electronic identification eartags for cattle and bison moving interstate – a terrible Biden administration policy I’ve worked to defeat. USDA also has jurisdiction over the Forest Service, which has limited hunting and fishing in Mark Twain National Forest and restricted timber harvesting – an important economic driver in rural areas.
Under President Trump, we will once again have an administration that will fight for trade policies that put our farmers and ranchers first. As Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over trade, I’ve been leading the effort to hold the Biden administration accountable for its absolutely disastrous trade agenda. I look forward to working with Trump and Jamieson Greer, his pick for U.S. trade representative, to combat unfair trade practices of foreign nations that hurt American workers, farmers, and ranchers.
For four long years, rural communities have suffered the consequences of having a president whose agenda is driven by coastal elites, far-Left activists, and radical environmentalists who want to dictate every aspect of our lives. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that America will soon have a president who actually cares about our rural communities. I know the future is bright for the hardworking men and women in rural Missouri.

More BS from the radical right. Trump will break more campaign promises this time and all you blinded magats will follow like the three mice. Fact: trumps promise of cheaper food costs is already being gaslighted by the convicted felon himself. Rural America is about suffer.
5:48AM, First Off - Trump isn't even in Office Yet. So, Lets Deal with the Exact Facts - His Statement was - Trump says it will be 'hard' to bring down grocery prices, pins hopes on lower energy costs and better supply chains. If he can bring down energy costs and help provide better supply chains - the American Public can expect Cheaper Prices - across the board - Energy Costs affects everything from the Farm to the Table - - -
Of course, Sleepy Joe and Laughing Kamal - have done NOTHING IN FOUR YEARS to Help the Economy - Except Pardon his Son after he said on numerous occasions, he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted in a criminal case and pleaded guilty in another. So, Please if you want to talk about the Lies - Biden and Harris - Hold the Candle for the most Extreme Incompetency of a President and Vice President in our History.
Second, Who do you think Biden and Harris - Ran their entire Race with - Elitest Liberal Leftist - Who could care less about Rural America - East Coasters, and West Coast Hollywood Extremist - Oprah, Clooney, Diddy, Jay-Z, Beyonce, the List of Vulgar and Extremists Leftists - who spent $1.5 Billion Dollars - Just to lose and then Beg after the Campaign that they are $20 Million Dollars - in Debt and cannot Afford to Pay her Campaign Workers all the Actors, Rappers, and her Other High-Priced Endorsees got Paid, but not the Little People her Campaign Workers - What does that Show You - - She could care Less about the Little People - The Hardworking Americans saw her for who she was that is why Trump Won all the Swing States -
Trump Won All these Swing States - -
Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas.
It will take Years for the Democrats and the DNC to figure out that Hardworking Americans are Tired of the Dems Policies, their Lies, and their Failed Promises - since they have aligned themselves with the Elitest and Liberal Leftist - while the Majority of Hardworking Americans have been alienated by them for Decades.
More redundant rightwingnut rambling from 748. Again, here's the facts: the 34x charged felon promised mexico would pay for the wall....lie! Promised lower taxes to get reelected but LIED about the burdon upon an increased national debt to pay for it. Lied about a stolen election, lied about his role on 1/6, lied that violent crime is increasing, lied about on open border. I could go on and on 748 but I'm not going to write 5 or 6 paragraphs of gaslighting lies as is you, and your masters custom.
You can always expect these comments from Elvis or whatever puffed up name he wants to use today.I would hate to go thru life as negative and vindictive as he is, sad sad excuse.
Trump didnt make the mess we are in. Biden and Harris did.
And I would hate to go thru life resorting to name calling and having no ability to see other opinions without having feelings so easily hurt as 1154.
I want some of what this dude is smoking. That’s some serious smoky delusion.
Is it the same stuff his voters do?
