Boehner Statement on Farm Bill Passage

Statement

Date: July 11, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Agriculture and Food Government Budget and Spending

Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the following statement after the House passed its version of the Farm Bill:

"Our farm and food stamp programs need reform. The status quo is unacceptable, which is why I voted against most of the farm bills of the past two decades, and supported this one. I'm pleased the House took a positive first step forward in providing some much-needed reforms to our farm programs today. Reforming our food stamp programs is also essential. Chairman Lucas should be commended for his work on this bill, and I look forward to continuing to work with him and our members as we move this process forward."
