The following press release was sent out by Congressman Mike Simpson. Press releases do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of those at the Idaho Dispatch.

WASHINGTON— Today, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson signed a letter to Republican Leadership calling for the reauthorization of a highly effective farm bill to be a top priority of the 118th Congress. This letter, led by Reps. Mark Alford (R-MO), Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Mary Miller (R-IL), and Jen Kiggans (R-VA) provides House Republicans an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to advance a farm bill that supports rural America and invests in critical programs for agricultural producers.  

“Congress must work to address the needs of America’s farmers by passing a farm bill that puts our farmers, ranchers, and producers first,” said Rep. Simpson. “Idaho’s farmers and ranchers cannot afford to wait until the next Congress before enactment of a new farm bill, we must swiftly take action and get this bill across the finish line. Supporting Idaho’s agriculture is one of my top priorities, and I am proud to join this effort urging passage of a strong farm bill before the end of the 118th Congress that provides certainty for Gem State farmers and producers.”
