**Farmers are invited to submit nominations for the 2023 Farm Bureau Farm Dog of the Year contest, co-sponsored by Purina.

It’s the fifth annual contest that celebrates farm dogs and the many ways they support American farmers and ranchers producing nutritious food.

The deadline is July 15 with the grand prize winner getting a year’s worth of Purina dog food and $5,000.

**New York Representative Elise Stefanik and other House Republicans introduced legislation that prohibits adversarial countries from acquiring American companies amid global food shortages.

Stefanik says food security is national security, and she’s proud to stand against foreign adversaries that want to exploit potential vulnerabilities and assert control over America’s ag industry.

The bill would specifically prevent countries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea from buying American ag companies.
