WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — Much of the agriculture industry is applauding the House Agriculture Committee for advancing the farm bill and sending the legislation to the House floor with support from all Republicans and seven Democrats.
In today’s Champions of Rural America segment, Congressman Jeff Hurd of Colorado joins us to discuss what the updated policies could mean for farmers and ranchers.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Rep. Hurd addressed the importance of passing a full five-year Farm Bill and why many agricultural groups say long-term policy certainty is critical for producers making business and planting decisions. He also highlighted voluntary conservation provisions included in the legislation and discussed the tools the bill is designed to provide to help farmers succeed.
The Colorado lawmaker also explained how the Farm Bill could help keep food affordable for consumers and what the legislation could mean for agricultural producers in his district.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska, joined RFD-TV to discuss coping strategies for those aching joints.
