USDA doesn’t currently know who is enrolled in #SNAP or how long they’ve been on the program. The House #2018FarmBill will begin collecting that data to better inform future policy.

As a local farmer, I know how vital it is to protect our farmers and farmland and at today's #FarmBill2018 Conference Committee meeting, I called for policies that protect and support our Central Valley agriculture and jobs. More about the meeting here: denham.house.gov/news/documents…

This is as critical a time as ever to get a Farm Bill and get it on time, get it right and make sure the safety net is reliable and effective for our agriculture producers around the country. pic.twitter.com/yewVxe2MQU

Net farm income is down by 52 percent from where it stood 5 years ago. Farm bankruptcies are up 39 percent over the past two years. Rural America needs a strong safety net and the certainty that a 5-year farm bill provides.#2018FarmBill

.@ConawayTX11 on #FarmBill Conference Cmte: While I’m pleased with progress on the farm bill – we must pick up the pace. This will all come together quickly if all four principals are willing to make meaningful compromises. I have made it very clear that I am willing to do so. pic.twitter.com/ECJ05dhSSI

.@DrNealDunnFL2: We are experiencing the greatest economy in modern history - w/ record low unemployment. Maintaining the SNAP status quo simply doesn't make sense. We all should want to incentivize the work-capable population to re-enter the work force and lead fulfilling lives.

.@RepJeffDenham at #FarmBill Conference Cmte: It is critical for specialty crop growers in CA and around the country that we pass a farm bill that continues USDA’s funding & accessibility for the Market Access Program, which bolsters visibility & sales for U.S. businesses abroad.

With recent reports that the farm economy is projected to decline 13% this year, a timely farm bill with a robust commodity title is more important that ever. H.R. 2 maintains strong reference prices across all commodities, including Southern long grain rice. #2018FarmBill

.@KYComer: The House bill takes steps to lift Americans out of poverty through the best assistance plan - a job. The #2018FarmBill emphasizes the importance of getting Americans back to work and provides a path for them to learn valuable job skills through training programs.
