Mike Conaway: “I would be remiss if we did not take a moment to reflect on the fact that we lost a great friend of American agriculture…”

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 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.

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

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