The average age of a producer in the United States is 58, and in Minnesota it’s 57. And of course, this number increases every year.
That in a nutshell is why we need to invest in the next generation of farmers, so this country’s agriculture production continues to work.

Corporate landlords have no right to exploit American renters just trying to find a place they are proud to call home.
That's why @aoc.bsky.social and I introduced the Homes Act - to empower communities with new, affordable housing options, and to protect tenants' rights.
We know there’s more work ahead. We need to solve this problem once and for all.I introduced the Housing for All Veterans Act, which would guarantee a housing voucher to every veteran who needs one.
We’ll finish the job and make sure everyone has a place to call home.
In the past 15 years, the federal government and communities like ours have committed to ending veteran homelessness.
Senator Klobuchar and I pushed for the increased federal funding that helped fuel this work in Hennepin County and across Minnesota, and we are seeing results.
BREAKING: Veteran homelessness in Hennepin County just reached ‘functional zero’.
This milestone is years in the making. Now, we should take what's working in Minnesota and implement it on a national scale.
The Biden-Harris Administration says help is on the way, and the head of FEMA has been embedded in Florida at the state emergency operations center to stay briefed by local and state officials.
Our entire country is behind them.
Absolutely devastating – as we begin to see more heartbreaking images of the damage Hurricane Milton has done to Florida, just remember: Florida won't rebuild alone.
This project shows what’s possible when the federal government partners with states, cities and nonprofits to create housing for the good of the community.
Let's empower communities to build more housing like this by passing my Homes Act.
There isn’t enough safe, affordable, quality housing in Greater Minnesota.
Yesterday, I toured Brewery Creek Apartments, which will provide 52 affordable units of housing — half of which are set aside for young people experiencing homelessness around Duluth.
All Minnesotans should have access to clean, safe drinking water.
Replacing lead pipes is about the health and well-being of Minnesota families across the state, and I’m fully behind this move by the Biden-Harris Administration.
This wouldn’t be possible without the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the advocates and utilities who are making Minnesota a leader in the clean energy transition.
I was excited to join folks up in Hermantown to celebrate!
Minnesota Power is making big upgrades to our electric grid – and it will mean cheaper, cleaner, more reliable power for homes & businesses.
These upgrades are seriously needed. The existing infrastructure is nearly 50 years old, well beyond its typical 30-year design life.
Moose is ready to help with TV interviews today.
Better health care benefits.
Better pay on days when hours are cut short.
Winter coats for outside workers (in MN winters!)
All vehicles must have heat and A/C.
Collective bargaining works.
I usually fly out of MSP at least twice a week to get between Minnesota and Washington, and I'm certain it wouldn’t be the #1 airport in the country without these workers.
They’re always willing to go the extra mile – and with a smile on their face.
Great union win here.
Four large meat processors control 85% of the beef market.
Boosting the capacity of local meat processors is a great example of how we can create more avenues for farmers to send their products. It’ll help farmers get a fair value for animals and keep grocery prices down.
When parts of the Byllesby Dam reached the end of their lifecycle and needed replacing, Dakota County took action.
Thanks to the Biden-Harris Admin, federal dollars will make infrastructure improvements that:
- Double energy output
- Save nearly $1M/yr
- Reduce emissions
Today marks the beginning of Black History Month, which serves as an opportunity to reflect on our past and recommit to a more just future.
I look forward to connecting with community this month and celebrating the immense contributions Black Americans bring to our country.
First responders work around the clock to help Minnesotans in times of crisis.
I was in Hibbing to talk with EMS leaders about the challenges and concerns they have and how we can best support them.
Since 1998, he's held special ceremonies for those unable to attend regular ones, like men and women serving in uniform or those with severe health issues.
Each of these home ceremonies embodies profound honor and national spirit for new Americans.
