committee action
We met for the first meeting of the House Agriculture Committee for the 118th Congress. Our chief concern is ensuring our farmers and ranchers have the support they need to as they struggle with skyrocketing inflation. Also on our list of top priorities is the next Farm Bill. Our "Uncertainty, Inflation, Regulations: Challenges for American Agriculture" hearing can be seen HERE.
