Farm Bill
North Dakota farmers deserve to be supported with a strong Farm Bill that provides stability first and foremost. I will continue to push for legislation which will lead to much-needed relief for North Dakota producers who have been dealing with challenges ranging from drought to low commodity prices. In fixing the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program, while maintaining the crop insurance as well as livestock forage programs, our agricultural community will directly benefit from the legislation. We need Swampbuster minimal effects language included in the bill to provide relief from onerous and excessive regulations. I will continue to work with the Agriculture Committee on the advancement of this critically important legislation.
