John Boozman: “I hope OGC can assist USDA in releasing nearly $2 billion in financial relief to contract poultry and livestock…”

North Dakota farm families helped shape the Working Families Tax Cuts, and because we listened to their priorities, we made sure the law included enhancements to the farm safety net.

Should this legislation be defeated today, current law will remain in effect, and states who poorly administer SNAP programs will begin to pay for the portion of the benefit cost next year.

We respectfully urge you to maintain the scientific drain tile setback rule that’s been successful for more than 60 years.

I’m deeply disappointed by this outcome.
