Randy Feenstra, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Iowa's 4th district, shared several updates on March 12, 2025, via social media. Feenstra, who succeeded Steve King in 2021 and has served since then, communicated his legislative efforts and positions on various agricultural policies.

In a tweet posted at 17:55 UTC on March 12, Feenstra announced the introduction of legislation aimed at reauthorizing the Food and Agricultural Sciences Education account within the Farm Bill. He emphasized that this initiative would also fully fund the Ag in the Classroom program. Feenstra noted that these investments are designed to inspire future generations to consider careers in agriculture. "I’m glad to introduce legislation to reauthorize the Food and Agricultural Sciences Education account in the Farm Bill and fully fund the Ag in the Classroom program."

Later that day, at 18:48 UTC, Feenstra highlighted a meeting between his Legislative Assistant Heath and members of the International Dairy Foods Association during its annual Women's Summit. This event included participants from Wells Enterprises located in Le Mars. In his capacity as a member of @HouseAgGOP, Feenstra reaffirmed his commitment to supporting dairy farmers within his district.

In another post made at 18:57 UTC on March 12, Feenstra expressed his longstanding opposition to what he described as "the Biden administration's radical interpretation of WOTUS." He conveyed appreciation towards former President Trump and EPA Administrator Zeldin for their efforts in crafting a new rule regarding Waters of the United States (WOTUS) which he believes will better support farmers in Iowa's 4th district. "For years, I have called for the Biden administration's radical interpretation of WOTUS to be thrown in the trash."
