Farm Bill Passage is Good News for Montana

Statement

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Representative Steve Daines applauded today's long-overdue passage of a five-year Farm Bill, noting that the bill's approval is "good news for Montana."

Today's House approval of the bill clears the way for full Senate consideration and for the President to sign the bill into law.

"Today's long-overdue passage of a five-year Farm Bill is good news for Montana," Daines stated. "Agriculture is not only an important part of Montana's economy--it's a critical industry that impacts each and every American. While not perfect, Montanans have been waiting far too long for Congress to pass a five-year Farm Bill, and I'm glad that the House and Senate have been able to reach agreement on this critical legislation. I am hopeful that the Senate and President will act quickly and get this bill signed into law so that we can provide Montana's producers and rural communities with the certainty they deserve."
