On the recordMay 23, 2024
America's farm families work around the clock to feed, fuel, and clothe our Nation and the world, yet their livelihoods are often at the mercy of unpredictable forces beyond their control. Since the last farm bill was passed in 2018, producers have faced record inflation, rising input costs, fractured supply chains, labor shortages, natural disasters, and more. Our current safety net is tattered, and our farmers have been bearing the burden of these challenges alone, risking the viability of their operations. The 2024 farm bill is the opportunity to implement significant changes to the farm safety net, equipping our farmers to meet their needs. A robust farm safety net provides stability to our producers to ensure farmers can continue operations in uncertain times. A stable, reliable food supply is essential for ensuring national security. The importance of our agriculture industry cannot be overstated. By investing in our farmers and strengthening the safety net, we can ensure that America and American families remain food secure. ____________________
