Louisiana Farm Bureau President Richard Fontenot Urges Swift Passage of Necessary Farm Program Improvements

Louisiana Farm Bureau President Richard Fontenot issued the following statement to members of the U.S. House of Representatives:

“Food, shelter, clothing, and fuel give every American the luxury to chase their dreams, rather than chase their necessities. These securities are provided by American farmers and ranchers across this country. Without meaningful improvements to outdated farm programs, that assurance for every citizen will turn from threatened to lost. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) contains many necessary farm program improvements, among other pro farm-business policies. I strongly encourage House members to vote yes on the OBBBA and finally deliver on assuring Americans domestic food security. A vote yes is a vote for national security.”
