Mike Conaway: “We have to make sure our farm industry is healthy, but at the same time, we are getting taken advantage of by the rest…”

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

It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.

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.

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.
