Cramer Statement on Senate Farm Bill Passage

Statement

Washington, D.C. -- Today Congressman Kevin Cramer released the following statement after the U.S. Senate passed the five-year farm bill agreed to in the House of Representatives last week:

"The decisive votes for the farm bill in the House last week and today in the Senate reaffirm there is bipartisan and bicameral support for the agriculture producers who feed our world. Although it was a long road to this goal, the result is a compromise which is an encouraging sign in this divided Congress. North Dakota was fortunate to have Senator John Hoeven as a tireless advocate for provisions important to our state on the conference committee. His understanding of the complex issues affecting farm operations and their lenders was unmatched in the committee, and enhanced the final legislation."
