This week I headed out to Pickaway County resident Will Minshall’s farm with @OhioCornWheat and got some hands-on experience in the field! We discussed issues that local farmers are grappling with, how the harvest is going, the need for year-round E-15, and how important reliable markets are. As a member of @HouseAgGOP, I will continue speaking up for the needs of Buckeye farmers to ensure they have the support they need to feed Ohio families.

Happy National Farmer’s Day! It’s an honor to be one of the very few active farmers in Congress representing my fellow southern Minnesota producers. As a member of @HouseAgGOP and strong supporter of the Working Families Tax Cuts, which delivered the largest investment in the farm safety net since the 2002 Farm Bill, I’ve delivered commonsense, meaningful legislation that empowers the men and women who feed and fuel the world. I’ll continue working with my colleagues in Washington and listening to farmers in Minnesota’s First District to deliver these wins time and time again.

Originally celebrated in the 19th century as "Old Farmer’s Day" to mark the end of the harvest season, today remains a time to honor the hard work and resilience of American agriculture. Happy #NationalFarmersDay! Take a moment to thank a farmer today. 🌾🚜

Happy World Cotton Day! The American cotton industry generates over $120 billion in U.S. economic activity each year. Take a moment today to check the fabric on your clothing and thank a cotton farmer!

The Working Families Tax Cuts included historic funding for American agriculture. See it in action! ⬇️

Anyone who knows @CongressmanGT knows he has a soft spot for American dairy! At this year’s World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin, Chairman Thompson checked in with dairy producers to hear the challenges and opportunities facing their operations.

Congressional Republicans delivered a stronger farm safety net with $13.8 billion in ARC/PLC support now on the way to farmers. This investment was championed by Chairmen @JohnBoozman & @CongressmanGT through the Working Families @TaxCuts.

Illinois farmers are among the hardest-working people in America, and their dedication feeds our families and strengthens our nation. Happy Harvest Season! May God bless every farmer and farm family across Illinois with a safe and abundant harvest.

It’s National Farm Safety and Health Week! As a fourth-generation farmer, raising the fifth, I know firsthand the demand and hard work it takes to feed and fuel our nation. Wishing my fellow #MN01 farm families a safe and bountiful 2026 harvest.

Always great seeing my friends at @MinnesotaPork while in Washington, D.C.! Representing one of the top pork-producing districts in Congress, I know firsthand that insights from our pork producers on issues like our ag markets and Prop 12 play a critical role in helping my @HouseAgGOP colleagues craft effective legislation that keeps our pork industry strong. Thanks for meeting with me!

During National Farm Safety and Health Week, we want to recognize the hard work of our farmers while keeping safety front and center. Quick reminders to stay safe: 🚜 Regularly inspect equipment 🥽 Have the right protective gear 🧑‍🌾 Take breaks to avoid over-exhaustion

It’s time for fall harvest! 🍂 Whether you’re harvesting a crop or just enjoying the bounties of the season, the House Committee on Agriculture wishes you a happy first day of autumn.

It’s Farm Safety and Health Week! 🚜 How does the farm bill keep producers safe? The ROPS Act helps make tractor safety upgrades, such as roll bars, more affordable through a cost-share program at USDA, cutting out-of-pocket costs for farmers. Introduced by: @RepFeenstra @RepRileyNY @RepFinstad @RepDonDavis

Market access is key to the success of U.S. specialty crops. Thank you @IntFreshProduce for joining us at @HouseAgGOP this week to talk about the importance of programs like MAP and FMD, which have proven to be successful in establishing new markets for American producers.

Last summer, @HouseGOP passed tax cuts that will save farmers more than $10 billion. During this week’s @HouseAgGOP hearing, I discussed our ag trade environment with President of the Colorado Farm Bureau Carlyle Currier and heard how the tax provisions in our Working Families Tax Cuts have helped ensure he and his family can pass down their multi-generational farm to the next generation ⬇️

FARM BILL UPDATE: Read Chairman Thompson's statement on the advancement of the Agricultural Act of 2026 in the Senate Agriculture Committee below ⬇️ agriculture.house.gov/news/d…

The House passed a Farm Bill 139 days ago. Today, @SenAmyKlobuchar will have another chance to prove she stands with farmers over fraudsters by supporting a Farm Bill passage in the Senate Ag Committee.

Why does increasing demand for US-grown agricultural products matter? Because American farmers and ranchers are so productive that they produce far more than we can consume at home. This makes it critical to invest in innovative new products, enhance existing markets, and build trade relationships through export promotion programs.

Alex Buck, Iowa Corn Director of Industrial Innovation, will be testifying in front of the @HouseAgGOP today in his capacity as the @PlantBasedProds Chairman. He will be discussing corn as a feedstock for biobased products and how innovation can help create demand🌽

The House Agriculture Committee gathered this morning for a hearing on increasing demand and opportunities for homegrown products here and abroad. Chairman Thompson summed it up well: food security is national security, and our farmers are the best in the world at what they do.
