Rep. Simpson Joins Letter Urging Passage of Farm Bill

WASHINGTON- Today, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson signed a letter to Republican Leadership calling for the reauthorization of a highly effective farm bill to be a top priority of the 118th Congress. This letter, led by Reps. Mark Alford (R-MO), Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Mary Miller (R-IL), and Jen Kiggans (R-VA) provides House Republicans an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to advance a farm bill that supports rural America and invests in critical programs for agricultural producers.

"Congress must work to address the needs of America's farmers by passing a farm bill that puts our farmers, ranchers, and producers first," saidRep. Simpson. "Idaho's farmers and ranchers cannot afford to wait until the next Congress before enactment of a new farm bill, we must swiftly take action and get this bill across the finish line. Supporting Idaho's agriculture is one of my top priorities, and I am proud to join this effort urging passage of a strong farm bill before the end of the 118th Congress that provides certainty for Gem State farmers and producers."
