Summary

The United States agriculture sector continues to struggle as water scarcity impacts various states and the need for a functional immigration system intensifies. As farmers lie at the heart of America -- between fueling our economy and our families -- Democrats and Republicans alike are committed to ensuring long-term sustainability and security of the U.S. Food system.  Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) discuss the farming issues crossing both of their borders, why having an efficient immigration system is intricately connected with farming in America, and why the purchasing of American farmland by China is also raising red flags for lawmakers.   Follow Bret on X: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.
