Nebraska Farm Bureau President Mark McHargue says passing the infrastructure bill would modernize the country’s outdated roads and bridges. “Our dams, our roads, our bridges – I mean everything that it takes to transport our ag products goes across the roads, through water or on rail somewhere and just a lot of that infrastructure has not been invested in in quite awhile,” McHargue says.”
The Infrastructure Investment and Job Act invests $110 billion in roads and bridges, $65 billion in broadband, $55 billion in federal water infrastructure projects, and $17.3 billion in ports and inland waterways.
