The world has changed dramatically since the 2018 farm bill. That’s why producers have been calling on senators to put more farm in the farm bill.
Today RM @JohnBoozman & his Republican colleagues released a framework to do just that.

thru the tax bill that the president signed last July 4th-- The Working Families Tax Cuts-- was a good start to strengthening farm programs bc we strengthened the farm safety net by raising support prices for corn to $4.10 soybeans to $10 a bushel MORE WORK TO DO

During yesterday’s @SenateAgGOP hearing, I spoke with @SecRollins about strengthening two cornerstone industries of American agriculture – cotton and cattle.
From building support for the Buying American Cotton Act to expanding opportunities for cattle producers and protecting and rebuilding our national herd, we’re working hard to ensure a strong future for rural America.

I was proud to support a long-time friend and Iowan Glen Smith to serve as our Under Secretary for Rural Development @USDA.
Glen has spent almost a decade helping strengthen the backbone of American agriculture — ensuring farmers and rural businesses have the credit and financial tools they need to succeed.
Now that he has passed out of @SenateAgGOP, I look forward to his confirmation by the full Senate!

This @WSJ editorial gets its exactly right. Our SNAP reforms empower able-bodied adults without dependents to work, learn or volunteer –– protecting the integrity of nutrition assistance so it can serve those who truly need it.

We must never forget the farmers and producers who put the food on our tables, fuel our communities, and drive our economy.
Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act last year, Alabama farm families will receive a HUGE increase in payments.

Great to welcome @ArFB women farmers and agricultural leaders to Washington for @FarmBureau’s ACE Summit.
Their advocacy and dedication to agriculture strengthen Arkansas’s farm economy and rural communities. As we recognize the International Year of the Woman Farmer, we celebrate their contributions and reaffirm our commitment ensuring their voices help shape the future of the industry. #ARinDC

The confirmation of New World Screwworm in Texas is alarming, but we’ve beaten this parasite before and we can do it again. Congress took an important step by reauthorizing and expanding animal health programs in the Working Families Tax Cut Act – and with the right tools, resources, and partners in place, I’m optimistic that we will eradicate this threat and protect America’s livestock industry.
We are treating the confirmed case of New World Screwworm in a Texas cattle ranch with the utmost seriousness and are responding aggressively alongside our state partners @TAHC.
USDA's proactive actions bought us nearly a year to prepare, as models had projected New World Screwworm would reach the United States by the summer of 2025. That preparation allowed us to move immediately when this case was detected.
After years of unchecked spread through Central and South America, this devastating pest has now reached the United States. The Trump Administration and USDA acted swiftly, activating our New World Screwworm Response Playbook, establishing quarantines and movement controls, accelerating sterile fly releases, expanding border trapping, and intensifying livestock and wildlife surveillance.
We are using every tool available, in partnership with states, ranchers, and wildlife officials, to eradicate this pest before it can spread and threaten American cattle producers.

At a time when American agricultural producers are facing great financial uncertainty, a renegotiated USMCA can provide much-needed certainty and the opportunity for new markets to sell American-grown commodities.

By working closely with producers, animal health officials, and our federal and state partners, we will take the necessary steps to protect and safeguard America’s livestock industry."
