Rep. Bacon tries to make sense of tariff threats on Canada

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon caught my attention several years ago as someone who is good to have on the House Agriculture Committee. If you check out some of the committee hearings, it’s clear that not all members have a solid understanding of the greater agriculture industry. But during one hearing in 2023 as I saw Bacon, R-Nebraska, express concerns about the U.S. vaccine bank and problems the Chinese pork industry had experienced with African swine fever (ASF), I knew he was someone who takes his commitment to farmers in his district seriously.
