U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy spent this past Friday afternoon traversing the rich soil of Liuzza Produce Farm in Independence, hearing concerns from owner Joey Liuzza whose family has owned the business for several generations.
Cassidy, along with Arkansas Sen. John Boozman, a fellow Republican, spent much of the day visiting with farmers and state agricultural leaders, being provided a firsthand account of the challenges farmers are facing in a changing landscape.
