Rep. Tracey Mann from Kansas has urged Congress to pass a comprehensive, five-year farm bill to provide certainty to agricultural producers. During a speech on the House Floor, Rep. Mann emphasized the need for a farm bill that can adapt to market changes while offering stability to farmers. He stated, “American farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers need certainty like never before – and Congress must deliver for them with a five-year farm bill.”
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Mann has been advocating for various priorities in the farm bill reauthorization process. These priorities include protecting and strengthening crop insurance, incentivizing agricultural trade programs to maintain competitiveness, and ensuring oversight to roll back restrictive regulations.
Last year, Rep. Mann hosted a Farm Bill listening session in Gypsum, KS, alongside U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson, to gather input from Kansas farmers, ranchers, and agricultural leaders regarding the upcoming farm bill. The Big First district, represented by Rep. Mann, is home to 60,000 farms and ranches, making it the third-largest agriculture production district in the nation.
Rep. Tracey Mann’s dedication to supporting Kansas farmers is evident through his roles on various agriculture-related subcommittees, including Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development, as well as Nutrition, Foreign Agriculture, and Horticulture.
In conclusion, Rep. Mann’s call for a five-year farm bill aims to provide stability and support to American agricultural producers during uncertain times, ensuring the security of our food supply and national well-being.
