Fighting for long-term fiscal health
Fighting for long-term fiscal health
This week I supported a oneyear extension of current Farm Bill programs.While a conventional 5-year reauthorization of the Farm Bill is preferable, many of these critical programs lapsed September 30th.The current lapse shouldn’t affect 2023 crops, but a one-year extension was necessary to prevent reverting back to pre-1930s farm policy as we begin 2024. I’m pleased Congress has acted to ensure American producers will have another year of certainty as they work to put food on our table and fuel in our cars – and now the Agriculture Committees in the House and Senate can finish their work on a new and improved Farm Bill without putting agriculture producers in an impossible position. 11/23/2023 03:00 AM

Veterans Day is an outstanding opportunity to recognize the men and women of our armed forces who have served our country. Through their courage and devotion to their duties, America’s veterans have helped keep the United States the greatest, freest nation on Earth. It is fitting we pause to give them a day of recognition; yet we owe them so much more. History, as well as current events, are constant reminders – we live in the land of the free because of the brave. 11/16/2023 03:00 AM
