The Farm Bill, which contains provisions expiring on September 30, 2023, is a package of legislation reauthorized about every five years that includes several critically important agriculture, conservation, nutrition, and trade programs. Davids and Representative Tracey Mann (KS-01), who also participated in the conversation, both serve on the U.S. House Agriculture Committee.\n\n\u201cWhile traveling the Kansas Third on my Farm Bill listening tour, I saw firsthand how important Farm Bill programs are to the daily operations of our community\u2019s farms and agribusinesses,\u201d said Davids. \u201cThankfully, Kansans have two representatives on the House Ag Committee advocating for their priorities, me and Rep. Mann. The farmers and producers I spoke with agree that there\u2019s no time to waste in passing a bipartisan Farm Bill that benefits Kansas producers and our economy, secures agricultural supply chains, and helps lower grocery costs.\u201d\n\nDavids and Mann\u2019s conversation took place during the 9th annual Ag Outlook Forum, which was jointly hosted by AgBizKC and Agri-Pulse Communications to help local business leaders, trade executives, and producers find solutions to the current challenges facing their agricultural operations. During the discussion hosted by Blake Hurst of Hurst Farms, Davids laid out her priorities for a bipartisan Farm Bill, which include protecting crop insurance and strengthening agricultural research programs.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://davids.house.gov/media/press-releases/davids-urges-passage-bipartisan-farm-bill-during-regional-agricultural-forum"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5275708865374327, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
