ARA Applauds Congress for Assisting Ag Producers in Dire Straits
Dec 21 2024
Today ARA President & CEO Daren Coppock released the following statement thanking Congress for averting a government shutdown, extending the farm bill, and securing relief to America’s farm community:
"ARA applauds efforts by Congress to pass a continuing resolution with economic assistance as well as a one-year extension to the farm bill to carry us into next year.
"However, the work on Capitol Hill is not finished. ARA and our members will continue to advocate for a 5-year farm bill that includes many of ARA's priorities such as robust improvements to crop insurance, conservation programs and more. We need to secure a multi-year farm bill as early as possible in the next Congress to provide much-needed certainty for an ag industry reeling from economic hardships."
