Washington, D.C.聽鈥撀燭his week, the House Committee on Agriculture Chairman GT Thompson and the Senate Committee on Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow released individual farm bill frameworks. NACD commends both Chairs for supporting NACD鈥檚 top priority by calling for the incorporation of the remaining Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) conservation investments into the conservation title of the bill. NACD encourages committee leaders to continue working in a bipartisan manner to聽pass a farm bill that supports our producers and locally led conservation.
鈥淣ACD greatly appreciates that both Chairman Thompson and Chairwoman Stabenow鈥檚 proposals would integrate IRA conservation investments into the farm bill and help more producers across the country adopt effective, locally led conservation practices over the long-term,鈥澛said NACD President Kim LaFleur. 鈥淚t is incredibly important for our farmers and our country鈥檚 conservation efforts that Congress works together to pass a farm bill as soon聽as possible.
