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. This 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. Upstate Niagara Cooperative thanked Tom Reed "for fighting to help dairy farmers weather these challenging times on family farms." This farm bill: Overhauls our dairy farmer protection program to ensure small dairy producers are prioritized. Legalizes the production of hemp. Provides $350 million in funding for rural broadband access and increases internet speed standards. Authorizes funding for organic farmers and specialty crop research. Improves crop insurance programs. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
