Heard good feedback from S.D. producers & ag experts on @USDA’s decision to allow early haying/grazing of cover crops on prevent plant acres. I'm always focused on being an advocate for farmers & ranchers. Glad to work with the admin to get this done. https://t.co/UK7WxHMoaR — PolitiTweet.org

Got a chance to hang with the grandkids at Quarry Days in Dell Rapids, S.D. As you can see in the background, granddaughter Henley is off exploring on her own. #summertime #hifromSD https://t.co/DhJnNFsG5M — PolitiTweet.org

Sat down with the Aberdeen Home Builders Association today. They’re seeing firsthand the positive effects of our great economy. With unemployment at near record lows, their biggest hurdle is finding & hiring enough workers. There are now more open jobs than unemployed Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful to the administration for acting on our request to grant the Oglala Sioux Tribe disaster assistance following terrible storms in March. The actions already taken by tribal leadership have been commendable, but this extra funding is necessary to help supplement clean up. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a lot of important items to get across the finish line: ➡ pass #USMCA ➡ address the #HumanitarianCrisis at the border ➡ pass the #NDAA Dems should join us to deliver on the important priorities for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

When I met with Dep. Secretary Censky last week I discussed with him how the current date for haying & grazing cover crops on prevent plant acres put an unnecessary burden on SD producers. Today the @USDA announced it had followed through and moved the date up to Sep 1. Thank you — PolitiTweet.org

Big announcement for SD producers: the @USDA has agreed to move up its mandated date for haying & grazing cover crops on prevent plant acres to Sep. 1. My full statement on this welcome news ⬇ ➡️https://t.co/4UaDxQeaTS https://t.co/kZHbKkdHLi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune

Just got a call from Dep. Secretary of @USDA Steve Censky. After my urging, @USDA has agreed to move up its mandated date for haying & grazing cover crops on prevent plant acres to Sep. 1. This is great news for SD producers – the original date of November 1 was far too late. https://t.co/OMMTd2P3PX — PolitiTweet.org

Mexico ratified #USMCA today – bringing us one step closer to providing certainty & more export opportunities for struggling farmers & ranchers. Now it’s time for Congress to take action on #USMCA. Dems should join us to deliver on important priorities for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

The #PHITact, which would allow you to use pre-tax dollars on gym subscriptions & other exercise expenses, is common-sense legislation that will encourage Americans to be active & help lower health care costs down the road.

Right now, Democrats are holding up funding for the serious humanitarian & security crisis at the southern border. They like to style themselves as the party of openness and compassion, yet are willing to ignore a humanitarian crisis of massive proportions out of political spite. — PolitiTweet.org

I support the administration’s goal of strengthening market access for our nation’s farmers and ranchers, and we’ve made good progress in negotiations. Now it’s time to push for a conclusion to these deals. https://t.co/pTTULuQCIE — PolitiTweet.org

While USDA doesn’t have authority over Mother Nature, it can help mitigate some of the pain that’s being felt in the agriculture community in the state and around the country, and I hope it acts quickly. Glad I could express the concerns of South Dakota farmers to @USDA today. https://t.co/xlh3GJ3Z7c — PolitiTweet.org

Showed these South Dakotans one of the best views in all of Washington. Even on a cloudy day, the view from the Speaker's Balcony of the Capitol is beautiful. https://t.co/Q1JiDDgqmY — PolitiTweet.org

It should come as no surprise to big tech companies that they're being reviewed by regulators – their size, influence, and dominance in the marketplace today is such that it’s going to invite that kind of review. https://t.co/sEN4Lb8j2K — PolitiTweet.org

For the past 14 months, there have been more job openings than unemployed workers in the United States. But while the broader economy is strong, we can do better for the ag economy. Passing #USMCA would go a long way in providing farmers and ranchers with the certainty they need. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m thankful President Trump made good on his commitment to our farmers to get the E15 rule done, and I’m glad he got back to the heartland to hear firsthand about the difference this will make in farm country. — PolitiTweet.org

Our economy continues to grow. We have now 7.4 million jobs available in this country – or 1.3 jobs for every unemployed person. https://t.co/AASruOOe3q — PolitiTweet.org
