“The ag sector is being hit again significantly...This is a pandemic, and it is going to be rough going, but the important thing is folks we just need to pull together and make it through,” Said Joni Ernst, a U.S. Senator for Iowa.
Representatives from Iowa are working closely with the USDA to help support the ag sector. They are also strongly encouraging the public to do their due diligence in helping stop the spread of the virus and keep public health strong.
