(Sheridan, WY) – Today, Farmers for Free Trade Executive Director, Brian Kuehl released the following statement on President Biden’s
American Jobs Plan which includes badly needed investments in America’s crumbling infrastructure that will benefit American agriculture and rural infrastructure.
“We are heartened to see that President Biden’s American Jobs Act invests in American agriculture and rural infrastructure. Restoring America’s infrastructure system provides a unique opportunity to spur economic growth in America’s heartland. Investing in roads, bridges, waterways, locks, ports and rural broadband means ag products move more quickly and efficiently, reaching consumers at home and abroad. Too often ag jobs are thought of as only on the farm, while in truth they’re at grain terminals, on freight lines and all across America’s highways and waterways. Rural America needs big, bold initiatives like this to grow and prosper. We call on Congress find a bipartisan path to making major infrastructure investments in American agriculture and rural infrastructure.”
