House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) has unveiled the 2024 Farm Bill overview, expressing the thorough process that went into crafting the legislation. Thompson stated, "This bill is a product of an extensive and transparent process, which included soliciting feedback from Members of both political parties, stakeholder input from across the nation, and some tough conversations."
Emphasizing the commitment to supporting American farmers, Thompson highlighted that "Each title of this farm bill reflects a commitment to the American farmer and viable pathways to funding those commitments, and is equally responsive to the politics of the 118th Congress."
Looking ahead, Thompson shared that the Committee on Agriculture will be marking up the bill on May 23, expressing hope for unanimous support in efforts to bring stability to producers, protect the nation’s food security, and revitalize rural America.
