Had a great visit with my friend Zippy Duvall and the American Farm Bureau Federation to discuss the need to pass a Farm Bill that gives producers greater certainty. We also discussed the Buying American Cotton Act, market assistance for farmers, H-2A reform, food security as national security, and American beef.
