Tuesday, the senators met with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt at the Iowa Farm Bureau to talk about the much-disliked in Iowa Waters of the U.S. regulations of waterways.

Grassley also will be meeting with farm groups, attending county Farm Bureau meetings and going to community and athletic events as his schedule permits, staffer Jill Gerber said.

The week of Aug. 21-28, in addition to spending two days at the Iowa State Fair, Grassley will have meetings in 30 counties, mostly in western Iowa, Gerber said.

Grassley anticipates the tenure of his county meetings being different from those earlier in the year when he heard from “people who were opposed with what we were trying to do.”

“I expect there’s going to be a larger and longer and louder voice coming from those who are disgusted that we didn’t deliver on the promises of the last three elections that we were going to repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act, Grassley predicted. “It’s going to come from a massive amount of ill will from the grass roots on the conservative side of the ledger.”
