Agriculture is our state's leading industry and accounts for nearly one-quarter of Arkansas's economic activity. I will continue to work to ensure our policies provide economic certainty for Arkansas's agricultural community, including efforts to open new international markets for our exporters. As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I have worked with my colleagues to ensure we passed a Farm Bill that achieves real savings in mandatory spending, reduces and streamlines government programs and provides much-needed reform for the food stamp program.
