Mike Conaway: “You know, the freest country in the world with the most opportunity, and we are talking about poverty.”

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.

The real question for me, though, is who pays for it?

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

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.
