Mike Conaway: “We are driven by consumer demand, and have responded to our customers' evolving demands for healthy food items.”

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.

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

The real question for me, though, is who pays for 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.
