Wow - shouldn't all business have a code of ethics and standards of conduct.

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

It's no shock any more that many #FarmCredit loans only thinly relate to farming.

But what comes as a surprise is that until recently, Farm Credit institutions were not required to have a code of ethics or standards of conduct. https://t.co/fe6LpG4da2

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

Enough is enough. It's time for Congress to examine whether #CoBank is adequately serving America's rural cooperatives. If it isn't, a change needs to be made to the "similar entity" lending policy. This has gone on for too long 🕦 https://t.co/vPfoTe2fWV

Democrats have had the House, Senate and White House for almost 2 yrs.

How did your life get better under the knee of this one party rule, or did it get worse?

#FarmCredit not sure - are you following your mission?

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

What exactly, then, does it mean when #FarmCredit references “non-agricultural purchases”? Looking at FCS' track record, it will consider loans for: 🚤 boats, 🛩 airplanes, & 🏔 “that mountain retreat you’ve always wanted.” How does this help #farmers? https://t.co/ERArjtxUO1

Just this year, FCS institutions have loaned tens of millions to:

1️⃣ A publicly-traded company
2️⃣ A company that grows wellness & beauty brands 
3️⃣ A global industrial packaging corporation.

Thanks @RepFredKeller. We appreciate everything you do.

It's great to be in Perry County with the @PerryCntyChmbr to talk about how we can work together to promote economic development in #PA12.

[Patti L. McLaughlin @McLaughlinPatti]

But the #farmer isn't seeing any increases in income, so who is?

[Congressman Fred Keller @RepFredKeller]

Americans' paychecks are down while the cost of living is up because of President Biden's reckless tax-and-spend policies.

We simple cannot continue spending taxpayer money at a pace that will saddle future generations with insurmountable debt.

#DYK that from 2016-2019 there was a 24% decrease in new #FarmCredit loans to young farmers? https://t.co/VYfZRA2i3q

[Jason Gottesman @jggottesman]

It's been three weeks since @GovernorTomWolf vetoed the Pennsylvania Voting Rights Protection Act...a bill apparently he didn't actually read...and now says he supports its most controversial provision and the reason he said he was vetoing the bill.

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

With the #FarmCreditSystem's lending to non-agricultural sectors, it's no wonder that a congressional hearing in March raised concerns about FCS's inadequate lending to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. https://t.co/eTFaQRdNF3

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

The money that lines the pockets of the #FCS's protected special interest could be used to help the young, beginning and small farmers that desperately need support to survive. Why isn't the FCS helping more? https://t.co/JVZtyGgmjl

[Reform Farm Credit @ReformFCS]

For years, US taxpayers have witnessed the #FarmCreditSystem get special tax treatment while they carry the freight. Enough is enough. #ReformFarmCredit https://t.co/KVucPa3fjL
