Pennsylvania Farm Bureau President Tommy Nagle commented today on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forest vote to advance the farm bill to the full Senate for its consideration.
“We appreciate the members of the Senate Agriculture Committee who recognize the critically important support that the farm bill provides for American farmers. We appreciate Chairman Boozman’s leadership in advancing this legislation out of committee, and we urge lawmakers in both chambers to advance a farm bill to President Trump’s desk.
It’s been eight years since Congress last passed a farm bill and in that time frame, more than 200,000 family farms have gone out of business. Since then, farmers have endured a pandemic and rapidly rising input costs. A new farm bill is necessary to help give farmers the tools they need to survive the challenges that lay ahead. A strong farm bill ensures that America continues to have a vast and safe food supply, which benefits all Americans.”
