Mike Conaway: “This is a prime example that a small investment in hens, feed and training creates a sustainable, value-based, growth…”

I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.

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.

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.

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