House lawmakers took Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack to task as discussions continue about the 2023 Farm Bill.
“And I’m hopeful that as we work together to fashion a Farm Bill, that we indeed can create real opportunities for small and mid-sized farming operations because when they survive, when they thrive, it means they are more people living in rural communities. With more people, we can keep those schools open; we can expand hospital and healthcare opportunities. We can create new opportunities and customers in those small businesses that are so vital to a small community.”
Vilsack will also be questioned today by the Senate Ag Appropriations Committee.
