AFBF Congratulates Senate and House Agriculture Committee Leadership

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the completion of leadership elections for the House and Senate Agriculture Committees.

“AFBF congratulates Rep. David Scott for today’s election to serve as Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee and Rep. GT Thompson for his recent selection as Chairman. Both congressmen have demonstrated a commitment to agriculture and willingness to reach across the aisle to work on behalf of America’s farmers and ranchers.

“The Senate Agriculture Committee is also in good hands under the continued leadership of Sens. Debbie Stabenow and John Boozman, as Chairwoman and Ranking Member, respectively. These experienced leaders each have more than a decade of service on the committee and a keen understanding of the issues facing farmers and ranchers. They’ve continued the strong tradition of bipartisanship in the committee and that’s important.

“Strong leadership in both committees will be more important than ever as lawmakers draft the 2023 farm bill and work to address the many other issues facing rural America. We look forward to working with Sens. Stabenow and Boozman and Reps. Thompson and Scott to ensure farmers and ranchers can meet the challenges of growing the food, fuel and fiber for our nation and world.”
