Walz Named to Farm Bill Conference Committee

Statement

Today, Representative Tim Walz (D-Minn.), was named to the bipartisan, bicameral Farm Bill Conference Committee to work out a deal on a long-term Farm Bill that will give rural America certainty. Walz, Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry, has been a strong advocate for agriculture and has consistently pushed leadership to move the Farm Bill to conference.

"Those that feed, clothe, and fuel the world need and deserve the certainty that a long-term Farm Bill brings," Walz said. "While this process has taken far too long, I'm pleased the House has taken this step forward. Southern Minnesota is home to a proud agriculture community and I am honored and humbled to advocate on their behalf. I look forward to working with my colleagues in both the House and Senate to produce a bipartisan, long-term Farm Bill that will give certainty to producers and consumers."
