Mike Conaway: “Over the last 4 years, we have witnessed the steepest decline in net farm income since the Great Depression.”

Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.

We need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.

The contract Borden was awarded through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program enabled us to preserve employment and benefits for our people.

Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.
