The head of a state farm bureau organization says the new speaker of the US House can’t forget how the 2023 Farm Bill could improve food security.
Nebraska’s Mark McHargue says the legislation can’t be forgotten once a speaker is elected and the government is properly funded. “We need a speaker that understands how the intricacies of how the farm bill go together to ensure that the people of the United States have safe and affordable food available to them.”
He tells Brownfield he’s concerned that whoever may be elected may show opposition to the farm bill, especially when it comes to funding.
