Steve Carlson participated in a debate at the Minnesota FarmFest on August 7, in Redwood County. It will featured three debates including the U.S. Senate debate headlining the three-day program. Participants in the debate were Steve Carlson; Amy Klobuchar; and Royce White, the Republican endorsed Senate candidate, Joe Fraser, Alicia Gruenhagen and Joyce Lacey.

Amy’s weak ideas and over-blown record have been obvious beginning in her dismal show in the 2020 presidential elections, where she went straight downhill. Her farm policy weaknesses are significant, and a threat to this country, to this state, and to farmers because they are in fact a threat to the world. Her Ukraine war (she met the nationalists right after Trump was elected and promised arms to attack the Russians) has caused food prices around the world to record highs and 20% food inflation in Minnesota). She shows a disregard for and fundamental lack of understanding about farm trade, and agriculture itself. We're a free country, and our farming shows it. We don't have a state apparatus like Ukraine, and farming here has always been an opportunity, the real American Dream! But Klobuchar displays a desire to overregulate farm practices, overemphasizing environmental regulations like the water regulation struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court because her ideas are often unconstitutional. And in fact Amy Klobuchar wants to destroy the U.S. Supreme Court. Ironically on the Rachel Maddow show she praised the "return" of "the rule of law".
