Senator Jerry Moran has recently highlighted several initiatives and policy updates relevant to Kansas agriculture and veterans’ affairs through his social media posts.

On July 17, 2025, Moran emphasized Kansas’s position in the agricultural sector, stating, "KS is a leader in soybean production & @KsSoybean helps make certain KS soybean farmers receive the support they need. I met with them this week to discuss the importance of expanding soybean markets & my work to modernize crop insurance."

The following day, July 18, 2025, Moran addressed developments regarding veteran caregiver support: "I applaud @SecVetAffairs for extending the pause on the dismissal of legacy caregivers from VA's family caregiver program by three more years. My full statement below:"

Later on July 18, he referenced a media appearance focused on agricultural policy: "Joined @OfficialRFDTV this morning to discuss the Farm Bill modernizations that were included in the Reconciliation bill & how it's benefitting American ag producers. Watch here"

Senator Jerry Moran represents Kansas in the U.S. Senate and has been active in advocating for agricultural advancements and veterans' issues. Kansas is among the top states for soybean production nationally, with organizations like KsSoybean playing a role in supporting local farmers. Crop insurance modernization and market expansion are recurring topics within state and federal agricultural policy discussions.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ family caregiver program provides critical support for families caring for disabled veterans; recent decisions have extended protections for “legacy” caregivers who were at risk of losing benefits due to eligibility changes.

Farm Bill reforms frequently affect a broad spectrum of American agriculture by updating safety nets such as crop insurance and providing new opportunities for producers.
