I. AGRICULTURE

Iowa has a fundamental reliance on Agribusiness and a role for government in improving agri-infrastructure. It must include a healthy supplier base and value-added processing of farm commodities. We support viable agriculture: recognizing it as a business; a way of life; vital to our national security; and contributing tremendously to Iowa’s financial, moral, and stewardship well-being.

  1. We seek equitable resolution to conflicts that occur in balancing economic production with maintaining our environment and with issues of being a good neighbor.
  2. We support long-term farm policy that relies less on government intervention and more on the marketplace that encourages demand-based production decisions, while providing options on revenue assurance tools.
