House Democrats Highlight Republican Hypocrisy in Agriculture-Rural Development-FDA Funding Bill

Press Release

"This bill endangers our ability to produce the safest, most abundant, and affordable food, fiber, medicine, and medical devices upon which every American relies. It will risk our supply chain resilience, deprive hungry women and children, jeopardize access to clean water, strip financial assistance from financially distressed farmers, and raise the cost of energy for rural businesses and families. It is a retreat from the robust investment that America's agriculture industry needs -- from education and research to farm subsidies and protections against diseases and invasive species. It risks undermining U.S. agriculture which contributes well over a trillion dollars to our country's economy as it touches the lives of every American."
