Farm Bill
California rancher and former NCBA President Kevin Kester joined House Republicans on Tuesday to tout provisions in the Big, Beautiful Bill that support family ranches.
“Every little disruption just raises the cost, and it’s just going to raise the cost to the consumer.”
“I’ll say first and foremost, we need to make sure that the crop insurance system is not conflicting with these good farming practices.”
“There is no free trade without fair trade!”
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins told RFD-TV’s Kirbe Schnoor that the Farm Bill is an important piece of legislation and one that she feels “really good about.”
“There is a lot of financial uncertainty on the farms right now.”
“We need something to happen!”
“We just want to make sure a Farm Bill doesn’t fall off the radar screen.”
“Top of mind across all of agriculture is to see a Farm Bill get across the finish line.”
“Now, we don’t know if income is dependent on a trade issue, and extra payment or disaster... or any number of things that we used to not have as high on the list of potential problems.”
“I’m optimistic that we will be able to get some good legislation in the Farm Bill.”
