Resolution was reached during the 2024 Summer Meeting
On June 27 at the 2024 Summer Meeting, the NPC Board of Directors adopted the following resolution urging Congressional support for passing a bipartisan Farm Bill before the end of 2024:
Whereas the Farm Bill has been expired for nearly two years;
Whereas the cost of a new Farm Bill is likely to substantially increase next year;
Whereas U.S. agriculture cannot continue to lose ground to foreign competitors with our federal policy;
Now, therefore, the National Potato Council urges the House and Senate leaders to move forward immediately with bipartisan negotiations to produce a bill, reflecting our priorities, that can be signed into law this year.
