I strongly support the passage of the Farm Bill, recognizing its critical importance to Louisiana’s agricultural industries. Louisiana’s farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our state’s economy, providing essential crops like sugarcane, rice, soybeans, and more. The Farm Bill not only ensures that these vital industries receive the support they need to thrive, but it also strengthens rural communities, promotes sustainable agricultural practices, and secures the future of food production in our state.
This bill provides the necessary resources for research, innovation, and disaster relief, all of which are crucial for Louisiana, given our unique challenges such as hurricanes and flooding. Additionally, the Farm Bill includes vital nutrition programs that support our most vulnerable residents, ensuring food security for all.
As your representative, I will advocate for a Farm Bill that meets the needs of Louisiana’s agricultural communities, ensuring that our farmers have the tools they need to succeed and that our state’s agricultural legacy continues to grow and prosper.
