U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley joined an Iowa Farmers Union virtual town hall March 3 to discuss federal actions that have impacted farmers in Iowa, including freezes on grant programs and foreign tariffs.

Aaron Lehman, IFU president who moderated the call, said farmers are feeling the effects of changes on their bottom lines and their ability to innovate as planting season approaches.
