ICYMI: Chairman Boozman Amplifies Voices of Rural America in Push to Advance Farm Bill 2.0

WASHINGTON--U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman (R-AR) is continuing his push to advance Farm Bill 2.0 by highlighting the voices of farmers, conservationists and rural Americans. These men and women represent all those who rely on a strong, comprehensive and modern Farm Bill to support their operations, families and communities.

Boozman has been sharing real-world stories from the people who feed and fuel America, steward our natural resources and strengthen rural communities about why they urgently need the provisions included in Farm Bill 2.0 through a social media campaign launched last month.

"In developing Farm Bill 2.0, we've gone directly to the men, women, families and communities impacted by these policies to hear what's working, what's not and what they need from a modernized Farm Bill. Their experiences and ideas helped shape this legislation," Boozman said. "Farm Bill 2.0 is about giving the people who produce our food, protect our land and sustain our rural communities the tools and certainty they need to succeed. These stories make clear just how necessary Farm Bill 2.0 is to delivering long-term resources and stability. The committee must advance this bill, and I look forward to doing so this week."

Farmers and ranchers from across the country are sharing what Farm Bill 2.0 means to them in the #FacesOfFarmBill campaign.

The #FacesOfFarmBill campaign puts producers and rural Americans at the center of the farm bill conversation, sharing their stories of how Farm Bill 2.0 would impact their operations, communities and livelihoods and help them navigate the challenges they face. These firsthand perspectives show why the legislation matters to the people who feed America, care for the land and drive the rural economy.

Farm Bill 2.0 is built for farmers, for rural communities and for the future. The legislation includes more than 100 bipartisan priorities designed to strengthen agriculture, support rural America and provide producers with greater certainty.
