U.S. agriculture groups applauded the House Ag Committee for bipartisan passage of the Farm Bill 2.0 out of the committee. The National Pork Producers Council applauded the legislation for including a fix for the problems caused by California’s Proposition 12, which it says undermines states’ rights. American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said, “Farm Bureau appreciates the supportive members on both sides of the aisle who recognize that a bill is critical as farmers face headwinds not seen in a generation.” A Farm Credit Council statement said with rural America facing “intense economic pressure,” this bipartisan proposal is essential, offering updated credit provisions to increase credit availability for farmers and ranchers. “The legislation finally completes the Farm Bill cycle and gives producers the operational tools and program investments they need to succeed,” said National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane.
