Fighting for Access to a Reliable Agricultural Workforce

Fighting for Access to a Reliable Agricultural Workforce

Agriculture is the backbone of our North Country economy. When I travel the district speaking with our farmers, I often hear about how unnecessary delays in worker visas lead to difficulty meeting production goals. My common-sense legislation, the Family Farm Relief Act, simply puts the agricultural visa program in the hands of those who best understand the specific needs of our farms. I will continue to fight to reduce the regulatory burdens our farmers face so they can focus on feeding our community and Nation.

Passing the Farm Bill to Support North Country Farmers

Passing the Farm Bill to Support North Country Farmers

I know that agriculture is the backbone of our North Country economy. I helped to pass the bipartisan Farm Bill that delivers important wins for our local farmers. Critically, it provides needed support for our dairy farmers who are facing a crisis right now. It also authorizes over $500 million in loan and grant programs to expand access to rural broadband – a key economic priority for our region. This legislation includes important environmental and conservation provisions, and I successfully fought to include two amendments to combat invasive species, such as the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.

Supporting Our North Country Dairy Farmers

Supporting Our North Country Dairy Farmers

2018 Result: I was proud to help pass the Farm Bill, which included my initiatives to better serve North Country dairy producers. I fought to increase the top coverage level for the Margin Protection Program (MPP) that protects farmers when the difference between milk prices and feed costs drops below a certain amount. This bill also helps reduce costs for our dairy farmers by including my request to reduce MPP premiums significantly on every farmer’s first five million pounds of milk covered in the program – roughly 220 cows. These common-sense fixes will give our North Country dairy farms the support they need.
