Barr: Choose Kentucky common sense, not crazy socialism | Opinion
As my daughter put it in a television ad you may have seen, I love Kentucky. Like, a lot. I love the people who get up before dawn to run our farms, mines and factories. I love the small towns where neighbors still know each other's names and look out for one another. I love our cities that are growing because families believe their future is here.

One stroke of a pen could erase Trump’s consumer protection legacy — unless Congress acts
The best consumer protection is consumer choice. When banks, credit unions, and financial technology companies compete for Americans’ business, consumers benefit from better products, lower costs, greater convenience, and expanded access to credit. But competition cannot thrive when Washington changes the rules every four years. For too long, that has been the story at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Barr: A Law to Help Murdered Cops and Their Families Has a Devastating Loophole That Needs Fixing
In small towns across Kentucky and across America, law enforcement officers don’t just serve — they become part of the community’s fabric. They attend church with the people they protect, they coach Little League, and they put themselves in harm’s way for neighbors who often become friends. They are the people who show up when something goes wrong, no matter the hour or the circumstance. But what too many forget is that danger doesn’t always end when the uniform comes off.

Why I'm introducing legislation to end government shutdowns
Every year, hardworking American families sit around their kitchen tables and make sure their bills are paid. They don’t get to “shut down” their household if they miss a deadline. They make adjustments, tighten their belts, and do what’s necessary to keep the lights on and food on the table. Congress should be held to the same standard. Unfortunately, Washington has developed a dangerous habit of letting partisanship produce government shutdown after government shutdown.
Andy Barr: Why I'm introducing legislation to end government shutdowns | Opinion
OP-ED Government shutdowns undermine confidence in our institutions, rattle our economy and send the wrong message to our adversaries abroad. The End Government Shutdowns Act is about responsibility. Andy Barr Opinion Contributor Every year, hardworking American families sit around their kitchen tables and make sure their bills are paid. They don’t get to “shut down” their household if they miss a deadline.

Farmer Focus: Weather raises wheat drilling date questions
Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller The continuing wet weather is already raising questions about wheat planting dates. It is, however, helping everything we’ve planted so far to grow, including, most importantly, the oilseed rape. If only it grew as easily and quickly as the cover crops, it would save a lot of concern. Although at the moment both slug and flea beetle levels don’t seem to be terminal, fingers crossed.
Jain Edwards and Andy Barr's letters to themselves: The Skinny
Dear Jain, Hey girl. I would love to see the show (I presume I would get guest list?) Hope you have worked out the ending by now. And have learnt it of course. I know how hard you’ve worked on this show though and have no doubt in how much everyone will adore it. I am so proud that you have finally learnt to pour your energy into yourself!! I am still getting to grips with how women are often socialised to give away so much of ourselves to those around us.
Farmer Focus: Going full regen not as easy as some make out
I was back at Groundswell again this year. It’s unrecognisable from the first one in its scale and the breadth of stands and speakers, and I don’t imagine Prince William thought of turning up in 2016. Something that hasn’t changed is that feeling of coming away inspired, which is a great thing, but actually presents me with a bit of a quandary once I’m back on the farm.
OPINION: Senate must pass the Big, Beautiful Bill
Last month, I voted to pass President Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill. It was an easy vote. The President’s leadership produced a transformational legislative win that will deliver an across-the-board tax cut for families, small businesses, farmers, and seniors.

Farmer Focus: We subsidise food with our diversifications
Returning from a break was made a more pleasurable experience by some rain, meaning everything had grown apace or been saved, depending on soil type. After last year forced a reset of my previously low-input fungicide approach, the winter wheat is clean and done with treatments, as is the spring barley. We start planning for improvements next year. The bare patches and blackgrass in an area of heavy land wheat are down to an incredibly wet autumn, leading to large puddles and no chance of spraying.
Rep. Andy Barr: Senate must pass Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ | Opinion

Andy Barr: Trump needs a proven winner to replace McConnell. That's me. | Opinion
Andy Barr supports extending Trump-era tax cuts and expanding them to further stimulate economic growth. He aims to secure the border, combat fentanyl trafficking and protect Kentucky values against a "radical left." He opposes ESG mandates and "debanking" of businesses, advocating for American energy dominance. He champions pro-life policies, Second Amendment rights and keeping men out of women's sports.
Farmer Focus: Monitoring bee activity thanks to on-farm sensors
Finally, the oilseed rape is reaching skywards so quickly I had to stop and stare to see if I could actually see it growing. This is just as well, given the pigeon wars we have experienced this year. I’m not sure if this is because less of the crop is being grown or the lack of sun and surfeit of rain last spring which reduced the amount of alternative pigeon food sources.

Farmer Focus: We have made a start to spring field work
Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller And we’re off – I do love spring and, although it’s not yet in full flow, the skylarks are twittering away above the fields. Thanks to a short spell of the drying east wind, we have made a start at field work. This was in the shape of urea on oilseed rape and most of the wheat. I like that urea gets into the plant gradually. I don’t like what inhibitors do to soil microbes, so I will use it untreated up to the end of March.

Farmer Focus: My forebears did not buy land to avoid tax
Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller “That is a promise made and a promise fulfilled” repeated the chancellor in the recent Budget, but when it came to agricultural inheritance tax it was a promise made and a promise broken. I sat there with my mouth open and my mind trying to recover from the mental punch it had just received. We have spent years planning ahead, taking a lot of costly advice, and ultimately transferring land, but it’s not that straightforward.
Farmer Focus: Farming nostalgia and an archaeological dig
Fresh from slugs invading my patio, nature has found another way of reminding me that it’s definitely wet with a generous sprinkling of mushrooms now thriving in my lawn. It only seems a heartbeat away that it was too dry to plant oilseed rape to it now being too wet to drill wheat. Oilseed rape growth has been aided by a hail of slug pellets and the marked reduction in cabbage stem flea beetle this year.
Farmer Focus: Mass slug gatherings and a straw rollercoaster
We sowed our oilseed rape midway through August. This was contrary to some advice that mid-September plantings have been giving the best yields and missing most flea beetle. My reasoning is that it worked well for us this year (absolutely no guarantee of future success in farming, I know) when backed up with several mono-silicic acid treatments.
Scientists Reveal That Running Marathons With Your Filthy Mates is Making You Ill
Table of Contents Hide It takes a brave organisation to get in touch with the editor of a running news website to let them know that taking part in a marathon can actually make you ill. Step forward scientists from the University of Birmingham. Having only achieved a grade C in GCSE double science, it took a few back and forths with a very patient media officer before I truly understood what Team Science was trying to say.
Opinion | The March of Folly Over ESG Investing

Farmer Focus: OSR yields return to pre-flea beetle levels
Andy Barr © MAG/Colin Miller Our harvest kick-started earlier than usual with a crop of oilseed rape on some of our sandy land. We were then rudely interrupted a few hours later by a worryingly heavy and prolonged downpour. However, a couple of drying days later it did turn out to yield back at pre-flea beetle levels with, what seemed to me, noticeably less adults in the grain store.
Exclusive with Whip Tom Emmer - 7/29/24 Edition
1. Interview: Rep. Tom Emmer on bitcoin, banking, 2024, and more By: Matthew Foldi Minnesota, a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican president since 1972, is emerging as a swing state this election. Rep. Tom Emmer (R., Minn.), the state’s highest-profile Republican and the House GOP’s Whip, is capitalizing on this moment.
Op-ed: Rep. Andy Barr: Americans must unite to defeat the scourge of terrorism
Amidst Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful and historic joint address to Congress last week, reinforcing the unique bond between the United States and Israel. His address highlighted the enduring partnership between our two nations at a time when Israel faces significant threats from Hamas and other Iranian-backed terrorist groups.
As 'Hawk Tuah' girl goes viral, experts issue warning over perils of sudden stardom in culture where 'everyone has to think like an A-lister'
The ‘Hawk Tuah girl’ is a stark example of the dangers posed by the ‘content creator world’ where anyone is just a moment away from going viral, experts warned today. Haliey Welch was filmed on a Nashville street last month by content creators Tim & Dee TV who asked: ‘What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?’ She answered: ‘You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang’ – and the clip has now been viewed three million times on YouTube in just a fortnight.
Good and Bad PR: Is it a chicken, is it a aircraft or is it…
As temperatures have soared throughout the nation and UK infrastructure floor to a close to halt, concern not, the world of Public Relations has remained resilient and carried on. Here I’m once more with this week’s Good and Bad PR. Have you tried turning it off, after which again on once more? Manchester Airport comms workforce will little doubt have been centered closely on nothing else all week however how they scored on this very column.

As temperatures have soared across the country and UK infrastructure ground to a near halt, fear not, the world of Public Relations has remained resilient and carried on. Here I am again with this week’s Good and Bad PR. Have you tried turning it off, and then back on again? Manchester Airport comms team will no doubt have been focused heavily on nothing else all week but how they scored in this very column.
Farmer Focus: A glaring omission in the election manifestos
Ah, June – the month of sun, Cereals and blackgrass. To be honest, I am very much frustrated by all three. I can’t do much about the sun but I did seem to be at least drawing with the blackgrass. Over the past couple of years I have had no need to call in pullers or spot sprayers to control the pesky grassweed.
Good and Bad PR: Peta’s beef with M&S, Rishi’s sheep and McDonald’s…
We are back and raring to go. Once again it has been a monster week in the world of communications. Hold on to your hats and let’s take a mosey through the goings on of the last seven days… Political shenanigans a plenty My weekly review of election PR campaigns so far is that it has been fairly even on the cock-ups front. No matter what the Labour lovie’s say, Kier wearing a plain white t-shirt for the England game was just odd and clearly trying to pacify the Welsh and Scottish voters.
Congressman Andy Barr: Biden administration makes 'dangerous misjudgment' on Israel Original
In response to Dave Catanese's article published in Sunday's Herald Leader, I must address the dangerous misjudgment by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the Biden Administration. The Administration's inclination to publicly criticize Israel, particularly in such a sensitive and volatile context, is not only diplomatically irresponsible but also strategically detrimental to both Israeli and U.S. interests. To begin, it is imperative to recognize the context in which Israel is operating.
Good & Bad PR: Heartless Clarks, fast food wars and classy comms in…
Summer is done and we appear to have fast-forwarded through to Autumn weather. What a very British start to a conversation. Welcome to this week’s Good and Bad PR. Work for a king, not a clown This is not so much a media story from this week, but I think this brilliantly reflects McDonald's own approach to communications. Burger King is keen to seize an opportunity to poke fun at its golden arch-branded rivals, while McDonald's tends not to get involved.
Good & Bad PR: McDonald's, Bumble and Dyson suck up all the good PR…
Hello dearest readers and welcome to another instalment of Good and Bad PR with Andy Barr - huh, that rhymes. I’m going to say that it has been a strong campaign week for public relations world. Quite a few of the stories that I have been sent have come from traditional public relations activity, which makes a nice change. Let’s have a nosey through shall we.
National Security Package will protect American interests
Today, the United States is staring down the most dangerous set of national security threats it has faced since before World War II. The Biden Administration’s chaotic retreat from Afghanistan and its removal of sanctions invited Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Farmer Focus: Trip up North reveals extent of crop damage
Weather issues continue to dominate but some motorway-based agronomy on a recent drive up through the country gave the impression that we in the South East haven’t had it quite as bad as some. Easter flowering oilseed rape is out again, but to be honest not all looked in top nick. We’ll have to add a flowering spray to our list of jobs as we can be hammered in the wrong year.
Altered images: Photoshopping the climate future is playing with fire
Experiments in photo editing have been a bit of a talking point this week. We all know why. Banner headlines have lurched from the withdrawal of the now infamous royal Mother’s Day picture by news agencies, an apology by the Princess of Wales for having caused any confusion in what appears to have been some ham-fisted visual meddling, and many UK newspapers then rushing to defend her from further public criticism.
