VENICE, FLORIDA—Congressman Greg Steube (R-Fla.) sent an official comment to Colonel Andrew Kelly, Jacksonville District Commander of the U.S. Army…

“Given my background in agriculture, I know the importance of farming in our community—agriculture is the lifeblood of Florida and I’m so proud to represent the industry in Washington, DC and to fight for these priorities in Congress. I’m working on a number of issues important to groups like the Gulf Coast Citrus Growers Association, including the Defending Domestic Produce Production Act (H.R. 101), which will allow for seasonal growers to collectively petition and lodge trade complaints to help combat Mexican, Chinese, and Brazilian oranges that come into the United States. I’m a co-sponsor of this bill and I know the importance of getting provisions like this passed for our farmers.”
