(NAFB) – Infrastructure is an important topic to U.S. agriculture for many reasons.

President Joe Biden is proposing to spend more than two trillion dollars to revitalize America’s transportation infrastructure, water systems, broadband access in rural America, and manufacturing. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, while speaking to Punchbowl News, says it’s time to get the infrastructure system updated.

While most Americans think that infrastructure updates are vital for the nation’s future, getting an infrastructure bill through Congress isn’t going to be easy.

He says the administration is spending a lot of time talking to members of Congress about the benefits.
