Udall, Heinrich: Farm Bill Clears Congress with Help for NM Counties, Livestock Producers
Press Release
Issues: Agriculture and Food
U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich today joined the Senate in passing the Farm Bill, major legislation that will send needed assistance to N.M. farmers and livestock producers, and help almost every N.M. county provide basic public services.
The Farm Bill, which provides agriculture funding and sets policies on everything from crop insurance and disaster aid to nutrition programs for the next five years, passed the Senate 68-32. It passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week by a vote of 251-166. The bill now goes to the president to be signed into law.
