Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third District will again serve on the House Agriculture Committee for the 19th Congress.
“Farmers are the backbone of Wisconsin and our nation at large, and I am committed to ensuring they have the resources they need to keep us fed and fueled,” Van Orden wrote in a statement. “Throughout the 118th, I made it a priority to be in constant communication with our Third District farmers and agricultural producers, and I look forward to continuing our work together to advance legislation that reflects their priorities and secures the needs of American agriculture for generations to come.”
In an interview with Mid-West Farm Report this week, Van Orden says his to-do list for farmers in 2025 includes reducing input costs, making the agricultural labor process more effective for farmers, and passing the Farm Bill that the House drafted during the last administration.
Van Orden also serves on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
