Mike Conaway: “I am worried that if the CFTC continues to go its own way, financial firms will exit American markets.”

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.

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.

Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.
