House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Representative Angie Craig warns that the lack of government services is already impacting farmers across the country. “Farmers are hurting, and they need help.” The Minnesota Democrat said her caucus is ready to work, but her Republican House colleagues haven’t been in Washington, D.C. Craig also criticized the White House’s approach to farm assistance, calling it inadequate. “What the administration wants to do without congressional authority is a drop in the bucket of what family farmers need to stay afloat, and frankly, we’re going to be in the same position next year that we are right now if the Trump administration doesn’t actually change its policies.”
