House Ag Committee Chair GT Thompson (R-PA) shared his title-by-title overview of the bipartisan policies and priorities included in the 2024 Farm Bill.
He called the legislation a product that happens when the development process is extensive and transparent, which included feedback from members of both political parties, stakeholder input from across the U.S., and some tough conversations.
Thompson says he plans to markup his bill on May 23rd.
Ranking Member David Scott (D-GA) says, “Ag Committee Democrats presented a farm bill counterproposal to our Republican colleagues as part of an ongoing, years-long process that could invest tens of billions in the farm bill safety net without any cuts to SNAP benefits.”
The Hagstrom Report says Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Chair of the Senate Ag Committee, will release her farm bill proposal as well.
Her proposal will include summaries and a section-by-section explanation but will not include the text.
