Mike Conaway: “It is imperative that we work to reduce and eliminate international barriers to trade.”

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.

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.

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