John Boozman: “This farm bill will not neglect the small nor punish the large.”

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.

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.

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