Mike Simpson: “I have a soldier from my district, I happen to know his family, who is in jail now from Iraq.”

I regularly hear from farmers, ranchers, and producers in Idaho, and their main concern over the years has been when Congress will reauthorize the Farm Bill.

Thanks to a Republican White House, Senate, and House, we have officially delivered on our promise to provide certainty to those who feed our nation.

I’m pleased to see these funds allocated to help Idaho schools, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.

This is something that’s needed, not just for agriculture but for the American people.
