I’m pleased to hear the president signed the Farm Bill into law today, giving much-needed certainty to farmers and growers in Central Washington. As with any compromise, the bill is far from perfect and more can certainly be done, but I’m pleased to see the largest commonsense reforms to farm and nutrition assistance programs in U.S. history are now law. This bill consolidates more than 100 programs and saves American taxpayers billions of dollars of their hard-earned money. It also continues important investments in agricultural research, specialty crops, pest management, and trade promotion programs that are critical to ensuring our farmers can continue to compete worldwide. I commend the House Agriculture Committee and Chairman Frank Lucas for their hard work throughout this process.
