“Serving on the Agriculture Committee is a true honor, and I am proud to give South Dakota a voice at this table,” said Johnson. “I relentlessly advocated for a seat on this committee since being elected to Congress.”

“My placement on this committee will have a direct impact on South Dakota’s largest and most significant industry, and I am thankful to have the opportunity to advance sound agriculture policy that serves farmers, ranchers and consumers in our state. My colleagues passed a strong Farm Bill last year, and I look forward to seeing it through to implementation.”

“I’m excited to welcome Dusty to the House Agriculture Committee. On the heels of the 2018 Farm Bill, it is critical that strong members like Dusty are involved in overseeing the implementation of all areas of the bill—from the farm safety net to conservation to rural broadband,” said House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Mike Conaway. “There is much work to be done in the 116th Congress, and I look forward to working alongside Dusty on behalf of rural America.”

“South Dakota Farm Bureau is proud to have Dusty selected as one of the few new Republicans appointed to the House Agriculture Committee,” said Scott VanderWal, president of the South Dakota Farm Bureau. “The Agriculture Committee gives Dusty the chance to advocate for not only farm risk management tools, but also conservation, rural development, research and much more. We look forward to working with Dusty to advance policies that help South Dakota farmers and ranchers continue to feed the world.”
