A congresswoman is looking to make sure that the investment in agriculture research happens each year and doesn’t stop growing. 

Democrat Nikki Budzinski says her America Grows Act would make sure that the government’s investment in ag research would grow by 5 percent each year for a decade. She says it’s more critical than ever to keep competitive with the rest of the globe.

Budzinski was recently at the University of Illinois learning about their latest ag research.
