The specifics of the pay-for have not yet been finalized. There are lots of things under consideration. We, too, want this done in advance of the March 31 date so, like I said earlier, physician offices can continue their billing as is without the interruption that a failure to extend or fix the doc fix would cause. We are keen on making that work, and the specifics of what the pay-for will be are currently under discussion.

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 urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.
Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.
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.
