Federal Farm Program

I have worked for and support a farm program that helps our producers deal with uncontrollable natural disasters and changes in the marketplace as well as encouraging new, value-added opportunities. Everyone benefits from good farm policy which helps our farmers produce the highest quality, lowest cost food supply in the world.

The farm program includes a counter-cyclical approach, which is very cost effective relative to the benefits generated for all Americans.
