Mike Conaway: “I encourage bold, effective action to address this issue.”

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

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 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.

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