Hoeven to Sec. Vilsack: Support Strengthening Farm Safety Net, Ensure Programs are Farmer-Friendly
There are real challenges that we are working to address as we write the next farm bill. Our Senate Ag Committee hearing this week was about advancing North Dakota’s priorities with Secretary Vilsack and pushing back on Biden administration policies that would undermine the success of our farmers and ranchers. It is essential that we strengthen the farm safety net, including crop insurance, ARC and PLC, and not impose burdensome mandates that increase costs on our producers, which would ultimately lead to higher prices for consumers.
