Senate candidate Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester will release a four-page agriculture proposal Tuesday afternoon, which is designed to address issues including discrimination against Black farmers and purchases of U.S. farmland by foreign entities.
Blunt Rochester is the odds-on favorite to win her Senate race in Delaware, where she’s highlighted her ag policy experience in the House of Representatives, and her proposal, first obtained by NOTUS, is geared toward rural development.
“Our focus really is not on these big corporations, but really focusing on our Delaware farmers, producers, our ranchers. That’s important to make sure, and that’s what this plan tries to really uplift,” Blunt Rochester said in an interview with NOTUS.
