Lucas Statement on Farm Bill
| Washington, D.C. – Congressman Frank Lucas (OK-03) released the following statement after the House Committee on Agriculture completed its markup of the next Farm Bill: “I applaud Chairman Thompson for completing the gargantuan task of passing this Farm Bill out of Committee. As a former Chairman of the House Ag Committee, I know firsthand just how difficult this process can be. Not only does this bill continue the good work done by the Committee over the last decade, but it secures much needed investments into the farm safety net and conservation title, all while assuring our neighbors that they have the calories they need. I am happy to support this essential piece of legislation and I look forward to working with the Chairman and my colleagues to advance this legislation on the House Floor.” ### |
