Rep. Randy Feenstra, a U.S. Congressman representing Iowa's 4th district, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues through social media posts. His statements touch upon agricultural policy, disease prevention funding, and a historical commemoration.

On February 5, 2025, Rep. Feenstra addressed the challenges faced by American farmers due to inflation and other economic pressures. He stated: "American farmers and producers need relief after years of inflation, low commodity prices, significant declines in net farm income, and limited access to new export markets." He emphasized the commitment of himself and his colleagues at the House Agriculture Committee to pass the Farm Bill with hopes for President Trump's endorsement.

The following day, February 6, 2025, he highlighted concerns about a bird flu outbreak: "The bird flu outbreak underscores the urgent need to fund foreign animal disease prevention and response." He noted that under Chairman Congressman GT's leadership, their committee-passed Farm Bill addresses these needs.

Later on February 6, 2025, Rep. Feenstra commemorated former President Ronald Reagan's birth anniversary: "On this day, 114 years ago, our nation’s 40th President was born in Tampico, Illinois." He praised Reagan as a "great American who loved our country," urging people to honor his contributions to the conservative movement.
