Dr. Boozman's Check-up

As the top Republican on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, I launched a series of listening sessions to gain input from Natural State agriculture producers as the process of writing the 2023 Farm Bill gets underway because the best solutions come from the ground up. These discussions are all about how to improve policies for better supporting farmers, ranchers, foresters and rural communities so we can maintain our position as a leader in producing the saftest, most affordable and abundant food supply in the world.
