Mike Conaway: “Some of us would respectfully disagree with the fact that government could run markets that way over the long term.”

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

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

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

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.
