Our state is also in a unique position to advance innovation and value-added services for advanced agriculture,\u201d said Congresswoman Spartz. \u201cI appreciate Rep. Baird for hosting a roundtable discussion to solicit valuable feedback from industry stakeholders.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur farmers are the backbone of our nation, and I believe that Hoosier farmers deserve a seat at the table as Congress prepares for the 2023 farm bill,\u201d said Congressman Baird. \u201cHoosier farms and farmers across the nation play a critical role in feeding, fueling, and clothing our grateful country, and they can provide invaluable feedback as we draft the next farm bill. I look forward to sharing these critical stakeholders\u2019 testimony with my colleagues, and I sincerely appreciate their and Representatives Pence\u2019s and Spartz\u2019s participation in this productive listening session.\u201d\n\n\u201cIn Indiana and especially the Sixth District, the agriculture community is large and diverse. Hoosiers throughout the state will be affected by the next Farm Bill,\u201d said Congressman Greg Pence. \u201cI would like to thank my colleague, Congressman Jim Baird, for putting together this important listening session and his leadership on the House Agriculture Committee. I look forward to continuing to work together to ensure Hoosier voices across the state are represented in D.C.\u201d\n\nBackground", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:11:17Z"]], "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://spartz.house.gov/media/press-releases/representatives-spartz-and-pence-join-congressman-baird-farm-bill-roundtable"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3602599501609802, "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"}
