Cramer Statement on Farm Bill Becoming Law

Statement

Date: Feb. 7, 2014
Location: Bismarck, ND
Issues: Agriculture and Food Government Budget and Spending

Today Congressman Kevin Cramer released the following statement after President Barack Obama signed the five-year farm bill:

"The farm bill signed today will provide greater certainty for farmers and lenders, expanded crop insurance choices, and taxpayer savings of nearly 24 billion dollars. Although it is not perfect legislation, it does give agriculture producers more options when choosing a risk management tool to best suit their operation. I will continue to monitor issues like wetland mitigation and conservation compliance to be sure this administration is reasonable in its enforcement."
