The Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee says there is a lot of work yet to be done on the 2023 Farm Bill.
Glenn “GT” Thompson tells Brownfield the committee needs a more aggressive schedule.
“For the 2018 Farm Bill we had 130 different hearings and listening sessions, formal ones,” he says. “So, we need to be stepping it up. I’ve shared that with House Ag Committee Chairman David Scott, and we had Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack on a hearing last week and so I’m hoping that we see an increase in intensity of those sessions.”
The Pennsylvania Republican says future hearings on the farm bill will go title by title.
