Iowa’s Ag Secretary is not concerned about state budget constraints tempting legislators to dip into funds farmers depend on.
Mike Naig tells Brownfield Iowa entered 2020 with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, a budget surplus, and a full rainy-day fund.
“So in the state of Iowa, we’re talking about how to make strategic investments in things like education and broadband, and becoming even more tax competitive. As opposed to some of our neighboring states and other states in the country that are talking about what they have to cut.”
He says Iowa is in a position of growth during the current legislative session.
