House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (PA-15) issued the following statement after releasing the committee print to comply with the reconciliation directives included in H. Con. Res. 14 Section 2001(b)(1):
“For far too long, the SNAP program has drifted from a bridge to support American households in need to a permanent destination riddled with bureaucratic inefficiencies, misplaced incentives, and limited accountability. This portion of the One Big, Beautiful Bill restores the program’s original intent, offering a temporary helping hand while encouraging work, cracking down on loopholes exploited by states, and protecting taxpayer dollars while supporting the hardworking men and women of American agriculture.”

Statement of NCFC President Chuck Conner: “As the House Agriculture Committee continues its markup of the reconciliation package, I want to commend Chairman Thompson for including key farm bill provisions. Updating reference prices and commodity title payments to reflect today’s economic realities is critical. America’s farmers cannot endure another year of uncertainty following the expiration of the last farm bill. Additionally, the proposal to double funding for market development programs is a timely and necessary step to expand export opportunities amid continued trade volatility.”
