Agriculture

This bipartisan bill extends through FY 2028 and makes other changes to a technology transfer program for assisting agricultural producers in rural areas.

Provide farmers, ranchers, and other landowners who feed and fuel our nation with certainty from diversified income streams and greater supports to beginner, young, and socially disadvantaged producers.

If all things were equal, farmers would rather plant corn than put a solar panel on the best farm ground in the world.

I can tell you the majority of farmers are not on board with this climate cult agenda.

I was out visiting a farm in Caroline County, and a farmer said he has 1,000 acres of cereal rye.

I come from Virginia where our number one private industry is agriculture.

Here is the problem. Reference prices help a subset of farmers.

We can support our farmers and hungry families at the same time. This is not an either/or situation.

I don't think it is a radical idea to want a farm bill that supports small- and medium-sized farms, that supports conservation.

We don't. And we are importing more food than we ever have in this country.

The failure to have a farm bill creates uncertainty, and that uncertainty makes it very difficult for producers to make decisions about their operations.

Thank you to the Secretary. I had just a month ago best-of-breed growers in my district...

What is this going to do to our ability to feed people?

These farmers are tired of top-down policies intended to appease the left's climate cult, which make it harder for them to farm and feed the world.

Climate change continues to be an issue for farmers and growers throughout the country.

I believe we agree that finally getting the bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act enacted into law is essential.

It establishes research centers at our American land-grant institutions across the nation with a purpose of researching physical and biological cyber threats to American agriculture.

I have been working on a bill for a couple of years called the American Agriculture Security Act of 2024.
