The following statement can be attributed to Iowa Farm Bureau:

“The Iowa Farm Bureau would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Senator Joni Ernst for her years of devoted service to the United States and to Iowa farmers. Her unwavering commitment to agriculture and rural communities has touched lives across our country and state. Through her leadership, dedication and support, she has made a positive and lasting impact on our nation's farmers and the future of agriculture. While Senator Ernst has decided not to seek re-election in 2026, our work together is not done. We look forward to partnering with her through the conclusion of her term to advance policy that supports Iowa agriculture and farm families.”
