The Farm Bill, which includes provisions expiring on September 30, is a package of legislation reauthorized about every five years that includes several critically important agriculture, conservation, nutrition, and trade programs. Davids is a member of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, which is expected to consider a Republican-proposed Farm Bill draft next week. “Traditionally, the reauthorization process for this bill has been broadly bipartisan ... I'm committed to keeping it that way,” said Davids. “While these negotiations can be complex — and we may not see eye-to-eye on every issue — it's essential that we come together to craft a compromise that can make it across the finish line. We cannot let politics stand in the way of our farmers' access to vital resources that support their businesses, employees, and families.” WATCH: Davids urges cooperation on bipartisan, realistic Farm Bill that can become law Earlier this year, Davids hosted U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small, former U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Mike Beam, and other policymakers to discuss the successes and challenges of Kansas’ farmers and producers. The group toured a family-owned and operated farm in Edgerton and held a roundtable discussion on the state of Kansas agriculture. Throughout the day, the need to overcome partisan gridlock and pass a bipartisan Farm Bill reauthorization was consistently highlighted.
