Today, I’m out on another tour for #Agweek. AGP, in Hastings, is the largest soybean processor west of the Mississippi. Each year AGP crushes about 65mil bushels of soybeans- half go toward biofuels. They’re expanding to David City, which will only #growNE’s ability to produce. https://t.co/oyybZaqs9P — PolitiTweet.org

Increased ethanol production will also reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil immediately. NE is the #2 ethanol producer in the U.S., with a capacity to produce 2.6bil gallons a year. If @POTUS allows for year-round use of higher ethanol blends, NE will be ready to fill that need. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I spoke with leaders in Nebraska’s ethanol industry about the pivotal role biofuels can play to save drivers money at the pump, reduce toxic emissions, and create opportunities for farm families here in our state. https://t.co/nlHOY0iCvp — PolitiTweet.org

This week, our Legislature is considering pro-life legislation that will take effect the moment Roe v. Wade is undone. Read more in my weekly column: https://t.co/0ZNiZRBQ7d — PolitiTweet.org

SCOTUS' decision on Roe v. Wade gave false credibility to their movement. But in less than four months, SCOTUS could finally overturn Roe. Their ruling could return the ability to regulate abortion to the states. If it does, Nebraska must be ready to protect the unborn. — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, the abortion industry has tried their best to normalize a culture of death, where the most vulnerable among us have fallen victim to the lie that one person’s so-called right to privacy trumps the right of another to live. — PolitiTweet.org

Final stop today is Seitec Genetics. Headquartered in Fremont, Seitec supplies hybrid seeds designed to increase crop yields in Nebraska and beyond. They’re a great example of Ag innovation in NE. #AgDay #AgWeek https://t.co/G15RIEdaOw — PolitiTweet.org

Next stop: Wahoo Meat Locker. It’s a proud family-owned and operated custom meat processing company that doubles as a retail store. The buy local, farm-to-plate movement has helped put places like Wahoo Meat Locker on the map. #AgDay #agweek https://t.co/8euRaUGe6u — PolitiTweet.org

Beauty View Dairy Farms is a family owned and operated dairy, beef, and row crop farm in Wahoo that’s been around since 1877. Look for their cheese curds in stores! https://t.co/Ocw2E35Wia — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Ag Week – and International Ag Day! Throughout this week, I'll be visiting a few Nebraska farms and businesses to highlight the importance of agriculture in our state. #agweek — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Susanne and I had the honor to worship with the Assumption Ukrainian Catholic Church in Omaha and pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Nebraska stands with Ukraine against Russia’s aggression. We will continue to explore ways to show that support. https://t.co/Z04OsF1WcX — PolitiTweet.org

Catholic Charities does so much good around the state. It was an honor to attend the ribbon cutting of their new St. Teresa of Calcutta Campus in Omaha. Here, they will do even more good for our community. https://t.co/mSfQK6z634 — PolitiTweet.org

The NE Legislature is about to take another vote on LB1073. A vote for this bill is a vote for big government socialism in NE. This is @POTUS attempt to pay people's rent for 3 years, no COVID impact needed. Call your State Senator now to urge them to vote "no" on LB1073. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

As the NELeg considers how to spend ARPA funds, I’m encouraging them to prioritize our kids. Remote learning didn’t meet the needs of all students during the pandemic.  Educational recovery accounts empower families to help their kids get back on track. https://t.co/UcZmci4Kon — PolitiTweet.org

Talk to you soon! — PolitiTweet.org

There are now 12k more Nebraskans employed in our workforce than there were in Jan 2020—before the pandemic began. Thanks to the hard work of Nebraskans, we’ve grown our state despite facing the greatest public health emergency of the past century. https://t.co/2rRpWli6Ba — PolitiTweet.org

Great leadership from Senator Brewer, whose constitutional carry bill, LB 773, advanced in the NE Legislature today. Current events remind us just how important the right to self-defense is to a free society #2A — PolitiTweet.org

Nomi Health has been a tremendous partner with the State. In a time of emergency and uncertainty, @nomihealth helped us successfully launch TestNebraska to provide quick, affordable COVID testing to more than one million Nebraskans. https://t.co/klDtWif4En — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the same Legislature voted for big government socialism in Nebraska. LB 1073 seeks to force Nebraska to take a second round of ERAP funds— three years of rent subsidies that are not tied to any emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

Grateful for the Nebraska Legislature’s leadership on the initial passage of LB 1015 and LB 1023. These bills will secure water resources for future Nebraskans across the state. — PolitiTweet.org
