Senator Boozman is one of the primary authors of the upcoming Farm Bill.\n\nThe senators were joined by members of the Wyoming State Legislature and more than 30 representatives of Wyoming\u2019s agriculture industry to discuss the Farm Bill and the impacts it will have on Wyoming.\n\n\u201cWyoming agriculture is at the heart of our communities and is a critical part of our state\u2019s economy,\u201d said Senator Barrasso. \u201cAs Congress debates the new Farm Bill, I wanted to bring one of the key authors of the bill, Senator Boozman, to Wyoming so he could hear directly from the people who provide food and fiber to our nation. I look forward to continuing my work with Senators Lummis and Boozman and agriculture groups across the state to ensure Wyoming\u2019s priorities are front and center.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Farm Bill is critically important for Wyoming ranchers, and I was thrilled to host Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member John Boozman in Casper so he could see firsthand the unique needs Wyoming producers face,\u201d said Senator Lummis. \u201cSen. Barrasso and I are committed to ensuring Wyoming is well represented in the Farm Bill and will continue to work with Sen. Boozman to ensure Wyoming priorities are not forgotten.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt is important to get out of Washington and visit with stakeholders as we move forward with the Farm Bill process. I appreciate the invitation from Senators Barrasso and Lummis to join them in Wyoming to hear from their farmers and ranchers who utilize vital Farm Bill programs,\u201d said Senator Boozman. \u201cWe had a very informative roundtable and an excellent site visit that gave us a great deal to consider as we move forward with writing the next Farm Bill.\u201d\n\nMore than 30 representatives of Wyoming\u2019s agriculture industry participated in the Farm Bill Roundtable.\n\nThe groups attending included: Wyoming Stock Growers, Wyoming Wool Growers, Wyoming Farm Bureau, Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming State Forestry, Wyoming Natural Resources Conservation Service, Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts, the University of Wyoming, Rural Housing and Economic Development, Farm Service Agency, Wyoming Wheat Growers, Sugar Beet Growers, the Wyoming Chapter of Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, Torrington Livestock Auction, Wyoming Business Council, Wyoming Association of Rural Water Systems, Wyoming Stock Growers Land Trust, Wyoming Food Bank, Jones Land Surveying, Inc., and the Wyoming Livestock Roundup.\n\nFollowing the roundtable discussion, Senator Boozman participated in a tour of Miles Land and Livestock just outside of Casper. Miles Land and Livestock owners, Chad and Jamie Harkins, showed Senator Boozman their cattle operation and highlighted some of the conservation projects they\u2019ve installed throughout their ranch.\n\nSenator Boozman tours Miles Land and Livestock just outside of Casper.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:25:20Z"]], "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://www.barrasso.senate.gov/newsroom-news-releases-barrasso-lummis-boozman-host-wyoming-farm-bill-priorities-roundtable/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.031228806823492, "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"}
