Johnson – let’s get the thing to the floor

South Dakota Congressman Dusty Johnson says he’s ecstatic the USMCA is moving forward but it’s critical to bring it to the floor for a vote.

“It’s good for Speaker Pelosi and her team to say they’ve reached an agreement with the White House but I have learned in Congress you cannot count those chickens until they hatch. So, let’s get the thing on the floor. I am going to be happy to cast a ‘yes’ vote.”

Johnson says he would bet his bottom dollar that 300 or 350 of his colleagues would do the same.

Johnson says South Dakota producers need the USMCA.

“It has been a VERY tough weather year in South Dakota and from an even bigger perspective, we’re in the fifth year of declining farm revenues. We have had soft prices for too long. This is going to give us the shot in the arm that we need.”
