"American farmers are already living under the uncertainty caused by low commodity prices and the potential impact of President Trump's reckless trade policies. They don't need the added anxiety of House Republicans injecting partisan politics into the #FarmBill. 2/4"

"Dems are ready to work w GOP to write a #FarmBill that meets Congress's commitment to growers & to those who consume what they produce. Our nutrition assistance programs help keep 40 million Americans from going hungry, & they remain a critical tool in our war on poverty. 3/4"

"I urge Republicans to take steps back toward bipartisanship and work with Democrats to negotiate a compromise #FarmBill that does not weaken our ability to fight hunger or support farmers. #ProtectSNAP 4/4"
