At a House Agriculture Committee hearing on Tuesday, Ranking Member Angie Craig highlighted the uncertainty farmers are facing and the urgent need for a new farm bill. “Farmers need a new farm bill to provide some semblance of stability for their business and their families,” Craig said. She emphasized that the bill should strengthen the farm safety net, cut red tape, and support new and beginning farmers. Craig stressed that the best farm bill isn’t about making promises but about getting passed into law. “We stand ready to negotiate a bipartisan bill,” she said. With programs like PLC, ARC, and crop insurance at stake, she urged lawmakers to work together to provide farmers with the support they need to continue feeding communities and the world.
