She also demonstrated a commitment to supporting bipartisan efforts to reintroduce mandatory country of origin labeling so Americans can know where their meat is coming from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMissouri farmers are the backbone of our state,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Trudy Busch Valentine.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBut Eric Schmitt sold out our farmers in exchange for thousands of dollars in political contributions from foreign-backed corporations and voted not once, but twice to allow the sale of 146,000 acres of Missouri farmland to Communist China. Our agricultural industry is critical to our national and food security and protecting American farms will be a top priority for me in the Senate. That is why the first bill I will introduce, when elected, will be a bill to stop the foreign takeover of American farms. I am proud to stand in solidarity with Missouri farmers and ensure that the best days of Missouri farming are still ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis announcement is a positive step forward for our industry,\u201d said<strong>&nbsp;Jeff Jones, owner of Jones Angus Farms.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cWe have been let down too many times by career politicians like Eric Schmitt who prioritize corporate greed over the needs of Missouri farmers. Missourians deserve a Senator who will fight for independent family farmers, our food security, and our way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Trudy Busch Valentine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trudy Busch Valentine is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Roy Blunt.
