John Boozman: “The question before us today is will VA start paying in August and I believe that they will.”

I hope that after people are home visiting with their constituents, visiting with their farmers, visiting with their states…that the Democrats will vote for the bill.

It’s time for the Senate to pass this legislation and provide the regulatory clarity the marketplace needs to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader.

While this is clearly welcome progress, we need more of our colleagues’ votes to reflect the urgency of supporting farmers, ranchers, forest landowners and rural communities.

I’m pleased to continue working with Senator Hoeven to strengthen the future of American agriculture.
