The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 has garnered both support and opposition. Organizations like AFL-CIO and NASDA endorse the bill for its focus on fighting global hunger, while House Democrats criticize funding cuts to nutrition programs like SNAP. The bill aims to deliver American-grown food to those in need and includes provisions for rural energy savings and precision agriculture technologies.
.@BeefUSA: "Since 2023, Chairman Thompson has gone to great lengths to meet with America's cattle producers in every region of the country and craft a farm bill that supports their unique needs." #FarmBill https://t.co/wgjlZIEmxg
.@PlantBasedProds: "we are pleased to see support for the bipartisan efforts to grow the sector included in Chairman Thompson's farm bill work." #FarmBill https://t.co/mGPztwoQ1j
Iowa pork is second to none! In Congress, I’m working to stop California’s #Prop12 mandates, keep animal disease away from our farms, and open new export markets for #IA04 pork. I’ll always support our hog farmers and their families! https://t.co/0s3jpkcpde
It's unfortunate that the GOP's #FarmBill pits 2 crucial groups against each other. My RESTORE Act, included in the bill, helps people with prior drug offenses get food benefits—a positive step. But cutting $27B from #SNAP is unacceptable. We must do better for American families. https://t.co/XMrI2TcXdI
.@NASDAnews: "With the release of the legislative text, NASDA remains committed to advocating for a bipartisan farm bill that will secure a commitment to American agriculture and the critical food and nutritional assistance programs for those who need it most." #FarmBill https://t.co/2W3bT9mj8Z
The Farm Bill will include my bipartisan Precise Act! This bill expands access to precision ag technologies, helping farmers decrease environmental inputs while increasing output. I’ll continue advocating for Iowa ag priorities as we finalize the #FarmBill.
We're putting the farm back in the #FarmBill. https://t.co/0RiHyy8m1u
Ag is the #1 industry in Illinois. As we work to extend key Tax Cut & Jobs Act provisions, I intend to use my role on @WaysandMeansGOP to ensure our tax code incentivizes growth in ag and supports Illinois family farms. @FarmWeekNow https://t.co/tPT6l4FWdH
.@NCottonCouncil: This legislation also gives growers more affordable options for their risk management strategies, makes important improvements in the marketing loan program, and restores critical support for our domestic textile manufacturers. #FarmBill https://t.co/easnhMEYae
Yesterday I met with my Agriculture Advisory Council, comprised of strong leaders for #Ohio's #agriculture industry. As @HouseAgGOP gets ready to mark up the #FarmBill, these experts have helped me keep Ohio’s interests front & center! https://t.co/DDkn4Lp6Sj
Met with a local small tech business about their incredible progress and growth. Looking forward to continuing my work on the House Ways and Means Committee to support innovators and entrepreneurs. https://t.co/Dlwb5volQO
This #FarmBill meets the needs of rural America and farm country. Working across the aisle, we’ve been able to include bipartisan priorities across every title like @RepNikkiB & @RepJamesClyburn’s Rural Energy Savings Act. https://t.co/7fT3pKLox0
The AFL-CIO strongly opposes the @HouseAgGOP Farm Bill. Families rely on Food for Peace – and also SNAP, SNAP’s Thrifty Food Plan, and other federal nutrition and food security programs. We cannot support making harmful policy changes or funding cuts to any of them. https://t.co/03BAA7jxBz
.@NAMAmillers: “The food aid reforms included in the House farm bill ensure that more food will go directly into the bellies of hungry people around the world." #FarmBill https://t.co/7kodaFM04b
We must protect #SNAP to #EndHunger in the United States. Preventing benefits from keeping pace with the rising cost of food would hurt families & exacerbate food insecurity. I am working to expand access for college students, older adults, & people experiencing homelessness. https://t.co/1uufMzt5qj
I’m proud to say we’ve secured big wins for Western New York and the Southern Tier in the base text of the 2024 Farm Bill that was released today! Through collaboration with our local producers, growers, and rural economic partners, this is a strong Farm Bill that includes… https://t.co/9qVZdFFNjL
America won't thrive if our rural communities aren't thriving. The Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act will support family farms, expand access to nutritious food, and invest in rural communities. https://t.co/yEjUwLHbBZ
Good to speak with producers about the promise and progress that we’re hoping to accomplish in this year’s Farm Bill. I’m continuing to fight for bipartisan provisions to invest in research and mechanization and improve support for farmers rebuilding after natural disasters. https://t.co/2isTYObjTR
.@SorghumGrowers: "The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 sends a clear message that Food for Peace should be delivering as much American grown food to as many hungry people as possible." #FarmBill https://t.co/t2MBUUyb7Z
House Republicans radically cut funding in the #FarmBill for critical nutrition programs that millions of Americans rely on to feed their families. SNAP benefits help almost 2 million low-income CA families put food on the table. @HouseDemocrats are focused on reducing the… https://t.co/K3UyfRPEfg
