The students spoke with Grassley about his schedule, agriculture, STEM education and more.

Grassley makes it a priority to meet with Iowans visiting Washington, D.C. Grassley also routinely visits high schools in Iowa to answer questions about issues from students and faculty. Meetings can be scheduled with Grassley at https://www.grassley.senate.gov/services/request-a-meeting
