WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Ranking Member John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement after the Senate advanced economic assistance for farmers and approved a one-year extension of the farm bill:
“Economic assistance will provide critical relief to hardworking farm families struggling to maintain their family farm. Helping American producers endure the current farm crisis and preserve their operations is necessary for healthy rural communities that desperately need the certainty and predictability of a five-year farm bill. I’m pleased Congress worked together to deliver this aid to the men and women who feed and clothe us all.”
