By Erin Voegele | December 15, 2017

On Dec. 13, the House Agriculture Committee launched a landing page for the 2018 Farm Bill that is designed to provide updates and information related to development of the legislation.

“I’m committed to completing a farm bill on time,” said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Michael Conaway, R-Texas. “We’ve spent the past three years preparing—holding 113 hearings and six listening sessions around the country. We recognize what’s at stake. We’re working on getting the policy right and will use this site as a resource as we advance the next farm bill.”

Information released by the committee also explains it is launching a new video series, entitled #FarmBillFriday. Each Friday, the committee plans to release a new video that highlights the importance of a strong farm bill. A new campaign, entitled #FarmBillFacts, is also being launched to help educate the public on the importance of American agriculture and the policies that support the agricultural economy.

The new Farm Bill landing page can be accessed through the committee’s current website, https://agriculture.house.gov/farmbill
