Lawmaker said, "A new farm bill means certainty for farmers, ranchers, and everyone else," arguing the legislation is central to ensuring planting next year and keeping food affordable.
The speaker linked the bill directly to farmers' planning and family food security, saying, "Certainty about being around for next year's planting season" and "Certainty about being able to feed your family."
