Mike Conaway: “The first meeting I was in this morning, a gentleman said, 'Do you want to beat people or win people?'”

It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.

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.

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.
