His service was part of a "work tour," not an attempt to make side cash as there are strict limits to outside income for congressmen and senators.

A spokesperson for Sen. Sasse, speaking to The Guardian, elaborated on Sasse's choice:
“Senator Sasse does tons of Nebraska work events, from changing tires on semi trucks to feeding cattle at 5am. This work tour was built around the changing and dis-intermediated economy, a subject he talks about frequently.”
Sasse has also made waves as a conservative senator, elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014, riding the support of the Tea Party, who has vocally opposed Donald Trump's candidacy for the president. Though, in the wake of the election, he has called on Americans to rally behind the president-elect.
