Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., visited a co-op store in Kodiak and a farm in Ouzinkie to gain perspective on Alaska agriculture concerns.
Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member John Boozman, R-Ark. poses with Alaska Sens. Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski , plus Kodiak Harvest Foods Co-op staff.
Sen. Dan Sullivan said visiting smaller communities keeps public figures grounded as they write policy from their offices in the Capitol. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said farming in Alaska looks extremely different compared to the contiguous U.S. – it’s usually on a smaller scale and the state has a shorter growing season. She said the Kodiak stop of the tour is their way of introducing Boozman to Alaska’s fisheries.
Boozman said fisheries are a unique industry to serve and understands the Alaska delegation’s sentiment about providing more opportunities for fishers.
