Rep. Adrian Smith, who represents Nebraska’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, highlighted local businesses and agricultural achievements in a series of posts on social media between September 23 and September 25, 2025.

On September 23, Smith acknowledged the growth of a local business: "Papa Moon has been serving Nebraskans locally since 2013 and has expanded with a second location in Scottsbluff featuring something for the whole family. Great to see this small business growing and enriching the community."

The following day, Smith described his tour with a federal official: "Today’s tour with @usda Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg began in Chapman at Preferred Popcorn. Nebraska is #1 for popcorn production with customers around the world." This visit underscored Nebraska's prominent role in global popcorn production.

On September 25, Smith discussed policy matters related to agriculture: "We ended our tour by sitting down with agriculture producers to discuss Joint Review of USMCA and the importance of input from our farmers and ranchers. Thank you to @TeamPillen for joining us and to @NEFarmBureau and @CentralValleyAg for helping host!"
