Springfield is showing up in a big way for Route 66, and so is Vital Farms.
As the presenting sponsor of the National Route 66 Centennial Kickoff Celebration, they're not just supporting the celebration—they're setting the standard. Processing over 40 million eggs per week, this team proves that Missouri companies can deliver at scale while still putting its people, its products, and its community first.
Claudia and I were grateful for the opportunity to tour Vital Farms and meet their fantastic team.
Dropped off a celebratory hot rotisserie chicken to my co-lead @repkmr ! Proud to have 384 Representatives vote to pass my amendment. Now on to the Senate and on to President Trump's desk!
384-35: House passed a bipartisan amendment to the 5-year farm bill offered by Rep. Rick Crawford (R-AR) allowing hot rotisserie chicken to be bought by individuals through Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
I just chaired the hearing for President Trump’s outstanding nominee to the 8th Circuit—Missouri's Justin Smith.
I hired Justin and made him my Chief of Staff at the Missouri AG’s office, and he was my Senior Advisor in the Senate.
I know first hand what a great judge he'll be.
Food Security = National Security

This #FarmFriday we’re introducing you to farmers in Danville, Arkansas.
J&E Fowler Farm, a three-house broiler farm and 35 head cow/calf operation, is owned and operated by Justin and Elisabeth Fowler.
The Fowlers began raising chickens in partnership with Wayne-Sanderson farms after building three houses in 2023 and were named Producer of the Year in 2024. Right now, they are in the middle of calving season and nearing the end of a broiler grow out.
Proud to once again see Missouri represented at the highest levels of federal leadership. Congratulations to Richard Fordyce on his confirmation as @USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production & Conservation.
As a lifelong farmer and advocate for agriculture, Richard brings firsthand experience and a strong voice for Missouri’s farmers and rural communities to Washington, D.C.
We look forward to his leadership and work with @SecRollins to ensure that the voices of farmers are heard and that agriculture continues to thrive across our nation.
What an honor to have my friend @BrookeLRollins in Arkansas to speak to agriculture leaders from across America.
Our farmers are hurting. But along with the Trump administration we are standing with our ag community to make sure America can feed and fuel itself for generations to come.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s appointment as the Co-Deputy Director of the FBI is another testament to President Trump’s commitment to enforcing law and order as Andrew has been a fighter for our state and nation throughout his entire career.
Although Missourians will miss Andrew’s strong leadership in the Attorney General’s Office, we know that he will serve Americans well at the FBI. Congratulations to Andrew and his family on this appointment.
State Director Ben Baker attended the @GovMikeKehoe Ham Breakfast on @MoStateFair today. During the event, he met with elected officials, agricultural leaders, and producers from Missouri, sharing @RD_Missouri's programs and the RD's critical role in helping rural communities.

Scott Ruskan and his aircrew saved 165 lives on their first mission during the Texas floods.
From the U.S. Military to first responders and volunteers — these brave Americans remind us who we are.
When disaster strikes, they don’t run from the storm. They run into it. 🇺🇸
