It's critically important that Montanans have a say in the next Farm Bill. That's why I'm hosting listening sessions across the state this month, to hear from folks who are directly impacted by the legislation so we can draft a bill that will strengthen Montana's number one industry. My first listening session is in Billings tomorrow at 12:30, make sure to stop by! http://www.tester.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=4790 | Senator Jon Tester

No Montanan should ever go hungry. That's why I held my 6th Farm Bill Listening Session to hear from folks on the ground about how the Farm Bill can help address hunger and feed families by investing in our communities and putting food on the table for folks in need. As we gear up to pass a new Farm Bill in 2018, I look forward to hosting more listening sessions to ensure the Farm Bill works for Montana. | Senator Jon Tester

Agriculture is Montana's number one industry and Montana farmers and ranchers can take the Senate’s Farm Bill to the bank. It works for Montana because it protects crop insurance, strengthens the safety net, encourages conservation, and meets the needs of family farmers and ranchers. Now it’s time for Congress to do its job and send a good Farm Bill to the President’s desk.​ https://sen.gov/8Y7N​ | Senator Jon Tester

As part of my statewide Barnstormin’ Farm Bill Listening Tour, I stopped in Great Falls yesterday to get input from Golden Triangle producers on trade & how the next Farm Bill could work better for Montana producers. The current Farm Bill expires in September, which means we need to be putting in the work now so we can pass a new Farm Bill before September and give Montana’s #1 industry the certainty it needs. | Senator Jon Tester

As the Senate’s only working farmer, I know how crucial passing a good Farm Bill is for Montana’s families, farmers & producers. That’s why I’ve been holding roundtable discussions on how to improve this critical piece of legislation since 2016, to ensure Montanans are heard as the Senate debates the Farm Bill this week. We need to get this passed ASAP to give farmers the kind of certainty they need moving forward. | Senator Jon Tester

When I’m not working in the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that’ll keep health care affordable, stop climate change, or end President Trump’s tariff war, I’m taking care of the farm back home in Big Sandy, Montana — NOT ringing up dark money donors and lobbyists for cash. Help keep me fighting in D.C. for all of us by pitching in before Saturday’s midnight deadline. | Jon Tester

My bipartisan infrastructure bill is a BFD. It's about reducing costs for families and small businesses, and ensuring America's economy is the best in the world. We need a major investment in our roads, bridges, electrical grid, and internet—and this bill does exactly that. | Jon Tester

Jon here saying hi from the tractor! Today we’re cutting peas. I love being a farmer. It keeps me grounded and reminds me why I fight so hard for Montana’s rural communities. But I have to be honest. I’m out in the fields almost every day in August for harvest. That means I have way less time to fundraise than my opponents and the truth is, we’re falling behind on our end-of-month goal. I know I can count on this grassroots team to help make up the difference. Can you pitch in a few bucks today

I've been holding Farm Bill listening sessions across Montana, and staffing issues at our Farm Service Agency offices came up at every single one of them. Last week, I took our producers' concerns directly to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack —pushing for better FSA pay to keep our offices staffed up. | Senator Jon Tester

I was just handed a 479-page tax bill a few hours before the vote. One page literally has hand scribbled policy changes on it that can’t be read. This is Washington, D.C. at its worst. Montanans deserve so much better. | Senator Jon Tester

Senator Jon Tester and I hit hard, and we want to hit market concentration in the agricultural industry the hardest. So we introduced the Food and Agribusiness Merger Moratorium and Antitrust Review Act of 2022.
