On the recordJune 26, 2025
I rise to highlight the voices of our local farmers. During a tour of Brown Family Farms and Produce, we met with fourth-generation farmer Patrick Brown, former United States Representative Eva Clayton, a group of local farmers, agricultural leaders, and advocates to discuss the future of farming in eastern North Carolina. Brown Family Farms was established in 1865 and is a family-run operation rooted in rich tradition and innovation. During the tour, we discussed the challenges farmers are facing and the importance of passing the farm bill. Our farmers deserve to be heard. Their voices must guide us to meet the needs of the American people.
