Miller-Meeks Joins Congressional Ag Trade Caucus

April 1, 2025

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) announced she has officially joined the bipartisan Congressional Agricultural Trade Caucus to advocate for trade policies that benefit Iowa’s farmers, ranchers, and producers.

“Iowa leads the nation in corn, pork, and soybean production, and expanding access to international markets is essential for our rural communities to thrive,” said Miller-Meeks. “Overregulation from Washington have held our producers back for too long. By joining this caucus, I will fight to remove unfair trade barriers, open new markets for Iowa’s agricultural products, and ensure our farmers and ranchers can compete on a level playing field. Agriculture isn’t just a way of life in Iowa—it’s the backbone of our economy, and I will always stand with the hardworking men and women who feed and fuel our nation.”

The Congressional Agricultural Trade Caucus, co-founded by Reps. Adrian Smith (R-NE), Jim Costa (D-CA), Dusty Johnson (R-SD), and Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), is a bipartisan effort to advance trade policies that expand market access, boost agricultural exports, and eliminate unnecessary trade restrictions.

The caucus will focus on strengthening international competitiveness, increasing market access for U.S. agricultural products, improving supply chains, and restoring U.S. leadership in global trade negotiations.
