VIDEO: Smith Statement on Census of Agriculture

May 15, 2024

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE), released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Agriculture published 2022 Census of Agriculture data showing Nebraska's Third District is the top-ranked congressional district for total market value of agricultural products sold.

"Once again, the data reflects the Third District is home to our nation’s most productive agriculture. This is owed to the generations of Nebraskans who have taken care to pass down land and work ethic to their children, a relentless drive to make the most of what we’ve been blessed with, and a willingness to do the right thing the right way. Innovation in recent decades has brought yields unprecedented in human history, and many signs point to even greater potential. I will continue fighting for sound farm policy and expanded markets to ensure our farmers and ranchers can provide the world with quality products for decades to come.”
