Mike Conaway: “I would hope that you would use that discretion to make this happen. It is the right thing to do.”

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.

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.

I am grateful we have a new farm bill in place and a President who constantly stands up for the very Americans who provide our food and fiber.

The real question for me, though, is who pays for it?
