In my state, 89 percent of the farmers receive no subsidies from the Federal Government.
Donald Beyer
The Public Record
My bill establishes an Interagency Committee on Soil Carbon Research led by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
I have been a champion of wildlife corridors over my past decade in Congress, since my first term when I introduced the bipartisan Wildlife Corridors Conservation Act.
This can be done in a way so that prime farmland isn't lost and supports rather than competes with a farming future.
I believe the farm bill is an opportunity for the USDA to improve their assistance and recognition of farmers and ranchers who have voluntarily conserved their lands as wildlife corridors.
I am supporting the incorporation of the Agricultural Resilience Act authored by Congresswoman Chellie Pingree in your farm bill.
My farmer-led energy future proposal puts rural communities in the driver's seat so the farmers themselves can look at incorporating potential additional income streams of renewable energy.
I just feel this will be stealing money from Virginia farmers, from America's farmers that they have already anticipated receiving, $275 million just in Virginia.
I'm proud to co-lead this bipartisan bill with Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin of MI, Congressman Mike Bost of IL, and Senator Sherrod Brown of OH.
I would like the Committee to include a notable bipartisan bill that I introduced with Rep. Juan Ciscomani, H.R. 5242.
