Mike Conaway: “If Congress passes TPP this year, the U.S. beef industry will be one of the biggest winners in agriculture.”

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.

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 need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.

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