The Senate Appropriations Committee has given its approval to the 2024 fiscal year agriculture spending bill. The bill provides nearly $26 billion for discretionary programs at USDA, FDA and related agencies. Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member John Hoeven highlighted priorities for agriculture. “Starting with things like ag research, which has been so incredibly important for America’s farmers and ranchers, making sure that we maintain adequate staffing at both FSA and RMA to make sure that the countercyclical safety net and crop insurance is out there supporting farmers and ranchers across this country.” The Senate Appropriations Committee approved this bill unanimously, while the House version passed with a party-line vote of 34-to-27.
