Aderholt Supports the FARRM Act

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement today after H.R. 2642, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act of 2013, passed in the United States House of Representatives.

“I think most Americans recognize that America’s farmers and ranchers are vital to our nation—they create jobs in our communities, provide food for our tables, and export goods around the world,” said Aderholt. “Though the process may not have been pretty, today’s vote was an important step in the legislative process and giving producers certainty that is vital to the continued health of American agriculture.”
