Rep. Yoho Tours South Florida Agriculture

Gainesville, FL – Congressman Ted S. Yoho (R-FL-03), the only Florida member of the House Committee on Agriculture, finished a two-day agriculture tour of South Florida.  He visited the Port of Miami as well as various working farms in Dade County. At the end of his tour, Yoho gave this statement.  

“Florida agriculture is vitally important to the economic health of our state. Our farmers and ranchers produce some of the best food and beef in the world. Increasing the global demand for our agricultural products is very important to me. I believe we should be doing all we can at the federal and state level to support those who not only put food on our table, but also put food on the tables of families around the world.

“I really enjoyed meeting local farmers and hearing their thoughts and concerns. I will be sure to take what I have learned from these visits to the House Agriculture Committee so we can create agriculture policy that is best for America.”
