JPHD: House Committee on Agriculture Advances Farm Bill (2012)
Thank you for your continued advocacy for a Farm Bill that protects hungry people, preserves creation, supports family farmers and helps rural communities thrive. On Thursday, July 12, the House Committee on Agriculture passed by a vote of 35-11, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (FARRM), the Committee’s version of the Farm Bill. In these past weeks, we have worked together to remind Congress that the moral measure of our nation's agriculture policies is how they serve "the least of these."
