This week, I hosted my annual agriculture tour of Arkansas’ Fourth District; traveling from Ozark to Hope, and many places in between. I always look forward to this week because I can spend considerable time speaking with farmers and ranchers about their challenges and about how I can highlight their needs to my colleagues in Congress.

I always look forward to August recess when I am able to spend time traveling across the Fourth District visiting with constituents and local officials to hear directly from them about the challenges their families, businesses, and communities are facing.
