The contract Borden was awarded through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program enabled us to preserve employment and benefits for our people.
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.
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.
Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.
