Daniel is the fourth generation of his family to farm this land and he hopes he won’t be the last. He & his wife have three small kids, and he tells me they depend on his wife’s income to make it. As a farmer you have to be an optimist, he says, but more & more you wonderpic.twitter.com/MHtibvf0eL

Both these men love the place where they live & are proud of their community & way of life. They hope to work hard enough or get enough of a break to make that way of life last another generationpic.twitter.com/5xZ4svmLOf

Meet
@garbagepailsean. He thinks I'm a crappy Senator, and he's right. I'm doing photo-op bios across MO instead of answering critical questions about my policies from my constituency. I should be ashamed, but look how interested I appear to be of sycophantic Missourians.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So,
@HawleyMO did he also tell you how far they had to drive for a pharmacy or hospital? Do they get insurance through his wife’s job? Universal health care would certainly help the burden fo a small farmer and his family. What is the Republican plan? Oh yeah...nothing!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

Now go find some Black farmers and talk to them. They also love their work and love our country. They are also your constituents and pay your salary. Do it, Joshie. You are "senator" for all missourians.
