Roberts: Bipartisan CCC Solution Provides Predictability
Kansas Ag Connection - 09/24/2020
U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, Wednesday took to the Senate floor to speak on the bipartisan House continuing resolution (CR) that passed yesterday.
The CR, which previously denied relief for agricultural producers and delayed critical Farm Bill program implementation, now includes a full replenishment of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) - only after Robert and fellow farm state Republicans rebuked Democrats' partisan attempts.

Roberts Wednesday reminded his colleagues of the 2018 Farm Bill's historic, bipartisan vote and that partisan fights such of these do not have to happen.
"No matter what they grow or where they live, farmers, ranchers, and growers have done their part to ensure the U.S. food, fiber and fuel supply continues without disruption during these unprecedented times. And, they are counting on the Department of Agriculture to deliver a range of agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry programs," said Roberts.
"Finding a bipartisan solution to replenish the CCC provided much needed certainty and predictability to farmers and ranchers across all regions and all crops. I appreciate the efforts of my colleagues and those that represent our nation's farmers, ranchers, growers, and rural stakeholders. The agreement in the Continuing Resolution represents a good step for American agriculture.
Roberts last week spoke on the Senate floor about the importance of pandemic relief programs to rural America.
