Mike Conaway: “Hunger is not acceptable, the nutrition title is a very important part of the farm bill.”

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

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.

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

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.
