Farmers are looking to finally get into the fields after a very difficult start to spring. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about this time of year.

“Everyone is anxious to get into the fields and for farmers listening or people in Ag business stay safe out there, and for those of you who don’t farm directly keep an eye on those farmers out there. It can be long hours, especially with a year like this where we may get a fast start and move quickly.”

Pat Weiler, the President, and CEO of Weiler talked about the importance of Senator Ernst’s visit.

“I think anything we can do as Iowans to inform Senator Ernst about issues we are facing is good for us. It helps her and the way she looks at things as she is legislating and I think all of that is positive.”
