Hoeven Statement on First Farm Bill Conference Committee Meeting

Senator John Hoeven today released the following statement after taking part in the first meeting of the Senate-House farm bill conference committee.

“Our producers need the certainty that comes with the passage of a five-year farm bill,” Hoeven said. “The work we do in this conference committee will impact our entire nation. Good farm policy benefits every American, every day, and that’s why we need to work in a timely fashion to pass a strong farm bill into law. I look forward to working with my colleagues to maintain the priorities we secured in the Senate’s farm bill, while also incorporating the strengths from the House’s version.”
