Brews to Barns Act: American brewers generate nearly five million metric tons of spent grain each year, and many of them donate this by-product to local farmers and ranchers. To incentivize this relationship between agriculture and small businesses, I recently introduced bipartisan legislation that would establish an excise tax credit for brewers who donate their spent grain for local agricultural use. The Brews to Barns Act will help reduce input costs for our country’s producers, support small businesses, and strengthen local economies. I’m pleased to lead this legislation to provide relief to small breweries and farms across Pennsylvania.

Democrats made historic election gains across much of Pennsylvania and the country. They’re now set to control the commonwealth’s “trifecta” — meaning Pennsylvania’s governorship, state House and state Senate — for the first time in 33 years. Nationally, the Dems also took control of both the U.S. House and Senate. By the end of Tuesday night, some even labeled it a “ blue tsunami .” “I think it might’ve even exceeded my expectations,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, who also easily won reelection, told CBS on Wednesday morning . Centre County Dems’ Tuesday night party at Hyatt Place State College proved lively, with an energized crowd clapping along to blue gains announced on CNN. They applauded when Annie Andrews flipped a South Carolina Senate seat to blue for the first time in more than 20 years, and they undoubtedly celebrated when Kansas elected a Democratic U.S. senator for the first time since 1932. But, despite the local celebration, no red seats flipped blue in Centre County. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte,
