Senator Jerry Moran, representing Kansas in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of updates on social media highlighting recent legislative developments and agricultural achievements relevant to his state.

On July 15, 2025, Senator Moran shared his engagement with local agriculture stakeholders: "Always great catching up with @KansasWheat! This weekend, I joined their podcast to talk about how the Senate Reconciliation bill modernizes Farm Bill programs and how it will benefit KS wheat farmers. https://t.co/Gu61q041wW"

The following day, July 16, 2025, he announced progress on veteran affairs legislation: "GOOD NEWS: The VA Home Loan Program Reform Act has passed the Senate and will now head to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law.

Later that same day, Senator Moran recognized Kansas corn growers during National Corn Month: "July is #NationalCornMonth! Did you know: Kansas corn growers on average plant 5.8 million acres per year, and rank 6th in the U.S. for corn production. Thank you, KS corn growers, for working tirelessly to feed and fuel the nation. https://t.co/facbPsM18m"

Senator Moran serves as a member of several key committees in Congress and is known for his advocacy on behalf of veterans' issues and rural communities. The passage of the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act marks a significant step toward expanding benefits for veterans seeking homeownership—a priority frequently addressed by lawmakers from both parties.

Kansas is among the top states in agricultural output; its wheat industry plays a major role in both state and national economies. According to recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Kansas consistently ranks high in wheat production nationwide. Corn farming also remains vital for Kansas's economy—state producers annually plant millions of acres and contribute significantly to national supply chains.
