NMPF Statement on House and Senate Farm Bill Frameworks

May 1, 2024

From NMPF President & CEO Gregg Doud:

"Dairy farmers are heartened that today, both House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn 'GT' Thompson, R-PA, and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-MI, each released documents providing an overview of their farm bill priorities and plans. Dairy farmers and the cooperatives they own are better-served by the certainty provided under a five-year farm bill, and as both chairs point the way toward important dairy priorities across multiple farm bill titles, all of dairy is eager to see this process get moving.

"We look forward to the House Agriculture Committee's markup of its bill on May 23. We're ready, and excited, to work with both chairs and their ranking members to complete work on a farm bill this year."
