Mike Conaway: “We should really be thinking about food stamps as an investment in children.”

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.

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 Farmers to Families Food Box Program (FFFBP) was the victim of a rushed process that included no engagement with current distributors and nonprofits and resulted in cherry-picked contractors who were not qualified.

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.
