Appreciative that a candidate reaches out to voters & has already visited every county in #MN01
Contrast that with #RepFinstad who will visit communities after a flood for a #PhotoOp. Unless you went to #FarmFest, have you've ever seen #BradFinstad in person? Heck, I have never seen him in #NewUlm
#FinstadWatch
#RepFinstad went to #FarmFest to meet with his pork & beef donors while #MN01 families experienced Veggie-flation
Expect higher grocery prices for consumers as #TrumpTariff impacts imported vegetables.

While #TrumpTariffs are raising the cost of important inputs, such as fertilizers and equipment, #farmers at #FarmFest say an even bigger concern is retaliatory #tariffs which can close off foreign markets.
#RepFinstad isn't listening; but embracing #Trump.
#TimeForChange in #MN01
PRESS ADVISORY: Auditor Julie Blaha will attend #Farmfest on Wed, Aug 6 to meet with farmers, local leaders & discuss how federal uncertainty impacts agriculture communities.

Very disappointed that #RepFinstad could not get #DonaldTrump to attend the the future of Ag Policy discussion on Tues, Aug 5 10:30 - 11:30 am at #FarmFest
#USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden will headline Developing a Reliable Ag Policy Safety Net event with panelist #MN01, #MN02 #MN07 & #MN08
On today's (8/8) show - The News Media plays favorites. Trump is old and losing it. Illinois tragedy. Dr. Joe Eastman @jlerollblues.bsky.social! Flailing against Walz. Vance is a B!tch! Trump tells them to stand by. Angie at #Farmfest (???). Lawsuit. Bad parents. soundcloud.com/user-5879035...
Since "nonfarm payroll" is an important economic measure tracked by the U.S. Dep't. of Labor ... Well, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.
There should be a #NonFarmfest.

Wrapping things up at #farmfest. But fist, let's take a closer look at soybeans. http://t.co/pyohtUgi
Keep shaking ants out of my laptop. May have to ask IT to debug when I get back. #farmfest
Klobuchar calls for beefed-up infrastructure. Ag exports are up, "we need a way to get our goods to market." #farmfest
Big applause for Klobuchar as she calls for an end to biofuel taxes. "I will absolutely double down on that," Bills agrees. #farmfest
"The smaller the government, the bigger the citizen," GOP Senate candidate Kurt Bills tells #farmfest crowd.
Klobuchar jokes to #farmfest crowd that a lot of people in DC think their food magically appears in the grocery store.
Kurt Bills' big blue bus is parked outside #Farmfest, all set for today's US Senate debate. http://t.co/tvzK3JP4
The great #Farmfest blackout of '12. All that corn ice cream is probably melting...wherever it is. http://t.co/SFY5kaaz
"I went to high school in Norway. That's where I picked up the Minnesota accent," CD7 GOP candidate Lee Byberg informs #farmfest crowd.
Asked about concerns for animal welfare on farm, Parry asks: "When was the last time you got up at 2 a.m. to nurse the lamb?" #farmfest
Parry calls for the abolition of US Department of Education (some applause), saying education is a local issue. #farmfest
Talk now turns to rural post offices under threat of shutdown. Rep. Collin Peterson says they're the heart of small communities. #farmfest
Farm bill must-haves? Quist likes conservation and crop insurance, still doesn't like food stamp funds in bill. #farmfest
Farm bill must-haves? Parry says "enough of the rules and regulations. Enough of the EPA." #farmfest
Farm bill must-haves? Rep. Walz would pick crop insurance. Only 8 congressional work days left before Nov. elections. #farmfest
Parry also got applause for saluting veterans. Too hot in #farmfest tent for much vigorous clapping.
