Congressman Zach Nunn, representing Iowa's 3rd congressional district, recently engaged in a series of activities highlighting his commitment to the agricultural sector and biofuel production in Iowa. On March 31, 2025, he participated in events with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, widely known as SecRollins, focusing on enhancing the state's agricultural output and renewable energy solutions.

On the morning of March 31, 2025, the congressman met with local farmers during a Farm Bill listening session in Atlantic, Iowa. Through this platform, he aimed to convey these farmers' perspectives to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture SecRollins during her visit to the state.

Nunn later reiterated his enthusiasm for advocating Iowa's agricultural potential, stating "Unleashing America’s Agriculture Starts with Iowa! Proud to welcome @SecRollins to Iowa to help feed and fuel the world." This statement came amid Secretary Rollins' tour of the region, aimed at exploring opportunities for enhancing food and fuel production.

Further emphasizing his commitment to biofuel initiatives, Nunn expressed gratitude toward the Secretary for her participation in announcing investments at Elite Octane. As he noted on March 31, 2025: "Since my first day in office, I’ve been fighting to expand the production of biofuels — Iowa’s home-grown solution to the nation’s energy needs." The announcement included plans for boosting support to Iowa's farmers and the biofuel sector.
