The House Agriculture Committee has passed a Farm Bill with bipartisan support, which aims to benefit farmers, ranchers, agricultural producers, and consumers. The bill includes 10 pieces of legislation introduced by Rep. Feenstra, such as the Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act, designed to lower crop insurance costs for new and young farmers. Additionally, the Save Our Small Farms Act, announced by Rep. John Larson and Sen. Blumenthal, seeks to reform federal crop insurance to be more reliable for small farms facing disasters. Rep. Mann, representing the Big First District, emphasized the importance of the bill, which recognizes Republican Farm Bill frameworks. The bill is now awaiting action from the Senate, with various representatives urging swift passage to support American farmers and ranchers.
Small farms account for 93% of farms in #CT05. These small farms feed our communities and drive our economy. As a member of the Agriculture Committee, I have pushed to ensure #CT05 farms have equitable access to @USDA programs and funding. https://t.co/kkGBNpJqGO
I look forward to voting for the Farm Bill again when it reaches the House Floor and am urging the U.S. Senate to take swift action to support American farmers and ranchers. https://t.co/V0eJQGhKxz
. @SenateAgGOP is putting the “farm” back in the Farm Bill. Our House colleagues have already passed a strong bill with bipartisan support. It’s time for the Senate to act and give our farmers the help they need. https://t.co/M0JMRCTdM0
