Mike Conaway: “The Agriculture Committee is unique in Congress for its bipartisan focus on outcomes over partisanship.”

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

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 urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.
