"The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 is the product of extensive feedback from stakeholders and all Members of the House, and is responsive to the needs of farm country through the incorporation of hundreds of bipartisan policies," said Thompson. He further noted that "the release of this draft is a significant step forward in a years-long, deliberative process."

However, Thompson cautioned that "the markup is one step in a greater House process, that should not be compromised by misleading arguments, false narratives, or edicts from the Senate." He expressed his anticipation for engaging with colleagues on both sides of the aisle as they move to markup.
