A vote-a-rama for President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is about to enter its 24th hour in the Senate as Friday’s deadline quickly approaches. While there is still a lot of debate over GOP plans for the SNAP program, some brand-new data could add fuel to that fire.
USDA has released its yearly findings for error rates in the SNAP program. The Department found the error rate at just below 11 percent, which is a small decline from 2023. Alaska came in the highest at nearly 25 percent, but is still down from the 60 percent of the previous year.
Error rates took a climb after the Pandemic. In 2019, the nationwide total was a little more than seven percent.
Ag lawmakers are letting their frustrations be known. Both Congressional Ag Committee Chairs say the new rates are an example of why the reconciliation package needs to pass, bringing it much-needed accountability to the program. They are calling for historic reforms and want proper payments to b stopped before they happen.
U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) shares his perspective on the U.S.-China trade developments and their potential impact on American producers, farmers, and ranchers.
