Tom Reed voted to send the Farm Bill to the President's desk in order to help small dairy farmers when milk prices are low, legalize the production of hemp and ensure a safety net is available for our friends and neighbors when they fall upon hard times.\r\nThis farm bill not only supports our hardworking farmers we care about, but also ensures our families are given a fair hand up when they fall upon hard times, Tom said. And as always, we are proud to continue our efforts to ensure increased funding and standards for rural broadband access.
