Mike Conaway: “Farmers and ranchers were the first environmentalist in this country, and remain some of the strongest.”

The contract Borden was awarded through the Farmers to Families Food Box Program enabled us to preserve employment and benefits for our people.

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

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