Barry Moore, a self described “proud MAGA conservative,” Monday took to Yellowhammer News to champion his decades-long legislative and personal commitment to Alabama’s farmers.

“I grew up on a family farm in Coffee County, went to Auburn where I studied poultry science, then worked with producers each day delivering products to make their operations run efficiently. I know firsthand that farming isn’t just an occupation. It’s about providing for America, being good stewards of the land, and passing something down to the next generation,” Moore wrote.

“As a proud member of the Agriculture Committee from my first day in Congress, I have worked to deliver commonsense solutions to the challenges our producers face. I have helped lead the charge to push back on the Biden Administration’s disastrous rule that altered the Adverse Effective Wage Rate (AEWR) methodology for H-2A agricultural workers, inflating the cost of farm labor.

“Every vote, every cosponsorship, and every letter has been rooted in one guiding principle – giving Alabama farmers the tools and freedom they need to thrive,” wrote Moore.
