Thompson emphasizes maintaining SNAP benefits while improving program integrity.

Despite decades of effort and billions of dollars spent, too many communities are still on the wrong side of the divide.
However, significant headwinds exist. These range from the stark politics of the 118th Congress to the cost and funding constraints across the 12 titles of the farm bill.
this farm bill is not the time to move the program, and the rural Americans it serves, backwards.
Our task is to build a responsive framework to meet the needs of American agriculture and its vast value chain.
