WASHINGTON – The National Potato Council released the following statement after the U.S. House Agriculture Committee favorably reported out The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024:
“The National Potato Council thanks the House Agriculture Committee for including valuable specialty crop enhancements in the committee-reported bill. Tonight’s action is an important step toward reauthorizing the Farm Bill and providing the certainty that the U.S. potato industry – and all of American agriculture – desperately needs. We encourage bipartisan efforts to enact a new Farm Bill this year.”
