Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties. RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: LT Farms of Ringgold County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. “Since 2022, LT Farms has been mixing up the snack industry with their irre-zest-ible flavors and community spirit,” said Chair Ernst. “This family-owned and -operated small business has quickly become a fan favorite across Iowa and beyond.” At the ages of twelve and eight, brothers Lane and Tyce Parish launched LT Farms with the help of their parents, Lincoln and Shawna. Their entrepreneurial spirits ignited when they were selling eggs at the local farmers market. Then, they expanded to developing and selling their mom’s snack mix, which she had been gifting to family and friends for years. What started as a timeless family recipe has since grown into a thriving small business, offering unique flavors that represent each member of their family. LT Farms gives back to the community through themed giveaways, fundraising support, and event sponsorships. Most recently, they donated 100 mini snack mix bags for the Mount Ayr School District’s Hall of Fame banquet. Stay tuned as Chair Ernst continues to recognize outstanding Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award. ### Permalink: https://www.sbc.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2025/10/ernst-names-small-business-of-the-week-lt-farms
