WASHINGTON — Congressman Dusty Johnson has been appointed the top Republican on an agriculture subcommittee.

It’s the House agriculture committee’s Livestock and Foreign Agriculture Subcommittee.

Johnson says he’s looking forward to, “highlighting the challenges and opportunities facing small feeders and cow-calf operators.”
