Fischer at the table, actively involved in those discussions will ensure Nebraska’s farmers are well represented.”
“We want to congratulate Sen. Fischer on her new role with the Senate Agriculture Committee, and we know she will do well in shaping our industry,” said Dave Merrell, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board. “As corn farmers, we have witnessed the dedication Sen.
