Congresswoman Cindy Axne visited Edge of the Woods Farm in Indianola Friday afternoon, discussing the impacts of the pandemic on small businesses and local farming. Axne tells KNIA News what stood out the most to her during her visit was expanding markets.

“I’m listening to the stories about not being able to ship things to people in other states even though they would love to have those purchases is something we need to work through. The restrictions we have in place that keep some of our small agriculture farms from being able to be successful, we have to stop some of that.”

Axne also said she wants to continue her work in congress to help small businesses weather the pandemic and stay open for customers.
