Mike Conaway: “American farmers and ranchers are falling on very hard times right now. Worse yet, I don't really see a light at the end…”

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.

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

We need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.
