Well, the House Agriculture appropriations talked about an 18 percent cut to our budget, so you can do the math.
If you raise the minimum wage, you would reduce the SNAP population by a significant amount.
It’s very direct, and I think it speaks significantly and centrally to the challenges that many Iowa farmers face today.
If you take SNAP and you reduce it or you eliminate it, you are obviously going to impact not just the poor families that are receiving it.
