Mark Alford: We need this farm bill now


(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)

This week, we were honored to lead 139 of our House colleagues in a letter showing House leadership that Republicans are committed to passing a Farm Bill that supports our nation’s constituents, farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

We passed the Farm Bill out of committee, and now, it's time to give it to America. The stakes are high; production costs are up, and farm income is declining.







We don’t need an extension, and we don’t need this next year – we need this Farm Bill now. Our producers are worthy of certainty and support for their tireless work in feeding, fueling, and clothing the world.

He hopes no one realizes that House Speaker Johnson (Republican, Louisiana) recessed the house until after the election in November.

If the Republicans had gotten this farm bill done, then it wouldn't be a problem.
