"We need to make chips here in America and help our farmers, who have spent the last couple years grappling with the microchip shortage. Todays high-tech farming equipment runs on chips, so the shortage has made it much harder for regular folks to repair."Read on Twitter
"We talked to folks from all over MI, & listened to some of the challenges they facing, like fertilizer costs, soil protection, cover crop issues & sustainability. But the good news is that @theAgroExpos equipment & research demonstrations will help them improve their processes."Read on Twitter
"Lastly, I wasnt surprised to hear the continued serious strain on our supply chains for farmers, and in particular how badly the microchip shortage is impacting farm equipment. This is another place where the CHIPS Act we passed a few weeks back will help."Read on Twitter
