Congressman says uncertainty level is high for area farmers

Area Republican Congressman Jefferson Shreve say that farmers are used to dealing with economic uncertainty but the current state of flux in international trade needs to be nailed down.

Shreve, just over four months into his first term, spoke recently about the challenges farmers in Indiana’s Sixth Congressional District face.

Shreve said his role is to listen to his constituents and take their concerns to the national level.

Shreve said he holds an agri-business degrees from Purdue University and is former farm owner himself. And that uncertainty is why he is no longer a farmer.
