Rural communities in Kentucky are in desperate need of broadband investment. I appreciate @BrandonReed4KY, @DavidMeadeKY & Rep. Jason Petrie for their leadership on House Bill 320 and the appropriation of $250 million for the broadband deployment fund. @KYHouseGOP | @kyhousedems

Thanks to @PrattforKY for HB362, rural broadband deployment fund. It passed the Senate today 31-0. Thanks to @kydavidgivens for carrying it through the Senate. This bill will help providers extend the final mile of broadband to end users in unserved & under-served rural areas.
Kentucky has launched a new program offering farmers incentives for selling their property to beginning farmers in an effort to further sustain one of the state’s most important industries.
Today’s trade agreement reached with Japan is good news for farm families in Kentucky and across the country. However, we must continue to urge Congress to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Repeal of the 2015 Waters of the United States rule is a victory for clean water and clear rules. We are relieved to put it behind us. We are now working to ensure a fair and reasonable substitute that protects our water and our ability to work and care for the land.

A newly signed agreement that will send more U.S. beef to the European Union is great news for Kentucky beef cattle producers and our state’s agriculture. We must continue to find new markets and reconcile existing ones to keep our farms in business. https://t.co/y6tjb8vXBj
It's important to keep a strong infrastructure in Kentucky. Farm families depend on it to move their products to consumers locally, nationally, and internationally. KFB continues to strongly support the state's rural secondary and county road aid programs.
Great crowd this morning at @KYFB Young Farmer “Eggs and Issues” Breakfast this morning in Somerset. Appreciate @RickGirdler4KY attending and providing remarks. @KYSenateGOP
As our county Farm Bureaus continue to hold their annual meetings, we thank our local leaders and members for providing the solid foundation on which our organization has been built. For the past century, these grassroots efforts have paved the way for our successes.
