Mike Conaway: “I vehemently oppose that idea because I do think the public would be harmed by it.”

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 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.

The real question for me, though, is who pays for it?

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