DAINES TALKS MONTANA AG, FORESTRY, TRIBAL PRIORITIES FOR FARM BILL AT INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HEARING

Hearing

Date: July 27, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Agriculture and Food Environment

"As the Senate crafts the Farm Bill, it's important to ensure that Montana tribal ag producers and their voices are heard so that the next farm bill works for them, whether it's supporting crop insurance, ag research, protecting drought and disaster relief programs, or important conservation programs are a few of Montana's biggest farm bill priorities. The Farm Bill also provides a great opportunity to advance important forest management and conservation reforms. We're already well into fire season, it's that time of year where I'm making those phone calls back to folks on the front lines, forest supervisors, spending time back home on the front lines getting updates on these fires. They're already burning in a significant way in Montana as we speak. So, ensuring we can advance these forest management priorities to produce more healthy forests, thin forests, better wildlife habitat, better watersheds, more jobs, and reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires that are so important."
