Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan.
In a sign that he is trying to improve his relations with the agriculture community, Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., announced today that he has signed letters with a Taiwanese agricultural delegation and American grain representatives, in which Taiwan declared its intent to purchase more than $3 billion in American agricultural products over the next two years.

The signing ceremony took place in the LBJ Room of the Capitol. The U.S. Grains Council, U.S. Wheat Associates and the U.S. Soybean Export Council represented U.S. farmers.

Huelskamp also encouraged the Taiwanese to allow their citizens to purchase Kansas pork, according to his news release.

Huelskamp represents a large district in western Kansas, but the Republican leadership removed him from the House Agriculture Committee because of conflicts over legislative priorities.
