John Boozman: “Mr. Chairman, we really need to follow up on that in the future and kind of hawk that as to what is going on.”

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 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.

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.
