House Moves to Send Farm Bill to Conference Committee
USAgNet - 07/19/2018

The House of Representatives moved to send the 2018 Farm Bill to conference committee. Following the vote, Speaker Paul Ryan named the House conferees, or members who will seek to resolve the differences between the two chambers' bills. House Agriculture Committee Chairman K. Michael Conaway issued the following statement on the House's action:

"Today, we move one step closer to delivering a strong, new farm bill to the president's desk on time as he has called on Congress to do. America's farmers and ranchers and rural America are struggling right now and they deserve the certainty of a strong farm bill to see them through to better times.

"The House has pulled together a solid team of conferees from across the country who are committed to working with our Senate colleagues to reach a final product that helps millions of low-income Americans climb the economic ladder while standing by the hard-working farm and ranch families who put food on our tables and clothes on our backs."
