ST. PAUL – Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has been named the ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

The announcement came Wednesday, the day after Rep. Angie Craig, D-2^nd District, was elected as the ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee.

Klobuchar has served on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry since her first term in Congress and she’s worked to pass three Farm Bills.

“From her tour of all 87 counties each year to her work on the last three Farm Bills, Sen. Klobuchar is known for showing up, listening and delivering results,” said Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU) President Gary Wertish. “Our members know her and her office well and are grateful for her service.

“Minnesota’s history of strong, bipartisan leadership is well served by Sen. Klobuchar and Rep. Craig,” he added. “We’re grateful for their leadership.”
