Texas Farm Bureau strongly supports U.S. House Committee on Agriculture’s reconciliation legislation
The following statement may be attributed to Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening regarding the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture’s reconciliation legislation:
“Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) strongly supports the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture’s reconciliation legislation, which includes critically needed provisions to provide long-term certainty for farm and ranch families across the state and nation.
“For far too long, farmers and ranchers have waited for Congress to act on a new farm bill that addresses current challenges such as record-high inflation, low commodity prices and extreme weather.
“The delay must not continue. We urge Congressional leaders to fully support Chairman G.T. Thompson in his effort to pass needed provisions for agriculture through reconciliation.
“It is critically important to act now to deliver results for the many farm and ranch families who work around the clock to meet the needs of consumers daily.
“Texas Farm Bureau looks forward to our continued work with Congress to keep key farm safety net provisions intact throughout the reconciliation process.”
