Booker Statement on Republican Farm Bill Text

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, issued the following statement in response to the Farm Bill text released by Senate Republicans: “The Republican Farm Bill released on Friday fails to meet the moment of crisis facing America's farmers and families. Democrats should remain united and only support a Farm Bill that includes a clean two-year delay of the SNAP cost shift to states. The bill must also provide immediate, meaningful assistance for the hundreds of thousands of small and mid-sized farmers—including livestock, dairy, fruit, vegetable, and diversified producers—who have been left behind by federal farm policy for far too long.”
