On Friday, Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) joined Mike Adams on the national talk show AgriTalk to discuss the latest developments on the Farm Bill.

Congressman Huelskamp released this statement following the interview:
“I always enjoy talking to Mike. The Farm Bill is closer to being completed than it has been in a long time. As a farmer, I understand what a farm bill means to farmers and ranchers. However, the Farm in the Farm Bill only makes up about 20% of the spending.”
Huelskamp continued: “Food Stamp spending has exploded, especially over the last five years. I believe that we need to implement common sense reforms to the food stamp portion of the farm bill, and not just cut on the backs of farmers and ranchers. With the passage of a food stamp bill through the House, which included many of my proposed reforms, I am hopeful that there will be a Farm Bill that passes through both the House and the Senate. I look forward to continuing the fight for Kansas farmers and ranchers, and common sense Food Stamp reform.”
