LINCOLN — Nebraska’s pork farmers would like to congratulate U.S. Senator Deb Fischer on her appointment to the Senate Agriculture Committee. Working for agriculture and rural development organizations has been an essential part of Sen. Fischer’s life.
“Having a senator from Nebraska on the Senate Agriculture Committee has great value”, said Russ Vering, President of the Nebraska Pork Association. “Having a voice at the table on behalf of our industry and all of Nebraska agricultural is exciting”.
“This coming year will be critical as Congress works on issues such as writing the next farm bill and dealing with trade agreements”, said Al Juhnke, Executive Director for the Association. “Expanding trade opportunities is of vital importance to our producers and having Sen. Fischer directly involved in those discussions will ensure Nebraska’s pork farmers are well represented.”
Nebraska’s pork farmers offer their sincere congratulations to Sen. Fischer on her appointment to the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee.
