National Agriculture Week was a busy one in Washington DC and with the House Agriculture Committee. Chairman Mike Conaway of Texas spoke at the National Ag Day luncheon on Wednesday.
“Production agriculture has a wonderful story to tell,” said Conaway. “Problem is you just have to keep telling it over and over and over.”
Conaway stressed the need for agriculture to have a safety net now and in the future. “Every five years we do a farm bill and in 2018 we’re going to have to do another farm bill, and as difficult as the 2014 bill was to get to fruition, the 2018 bill will be even tougher.”
