I was disappointed to hear that in the U.S. our trade deficit is $14.5 billion in agriculture last year.
This farm bill will have a price tag of over $1.4 trillion, with over $1.2 trillion of it going to SNAP benefits.
I hear concerns from my farmers in Alabama, especially our poultry farmers, lacking sufficient access to financing.
The bottom line is we are struggling.
We cannot lose sight of the importance of this farm bill, for the next five years, for our farmers and producers all across our country.
