This bill was a missed opportunity for serious reforms of agricultural subsidy programs that have inflated the prices of farmland and made it more difficult for the next generation of farmers. It was also a missed opportunity to strengthen food assistance programs in a manner that helps able-bodied adults without dependents find work. We must reform our agricultural programs in a manner that improves the status quo and limits exposure to the forgotten men and women in our country: the hardworking taxpayer. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
