Joni Ernst, U.S. Senator representing Iowa, shared a series of posts on August 12, 2025, highlighting her ongoing support for small businesses and farmers in the state.

In her first post at 15:00 UTC, Ernst recognized a local business by stating, "I’m proud to present my Small Business of the Week award to J&S Farm Supply! Founded on faith, family, and farming, this small business has been cultivating the next generation of Iowa growers since 1955!"

Later that day at 18:22 UTC, she promoted an event aimed at supporting entrepreneurs. She wrote, "Tune in now to my Entrepreneur Expo to hear about how you can grow your business and sell your goods and services to the federal government!"

At 19:40 UTC on the same day, Ernst addressed concerns regarding agricultural regulations. She posted, "No farmer should ever have their tractor literally brought to a halt in the middle of a field because of a Green New Deal style regulation from Washington. I’m glad to be working hand in hand with the Trump admin to cut red tape and save family-run farms hundreds of millions".

Senator Ernst has frequently advocated for reducing regulatory burdens on farmers and supporting rural economies through recognition programs and outreach events such as entrepreneur expos. Her recent statements continue this trend by emphasizing partnerships with federal agencies aimed at assisting small businesses and agricultural producers.
