Congressman Frank Lucas has been assigned to help move the 2018 Farm Bill forward. On Wednesday, he was named to the congressional conference committee to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of the Farm Bill. Lucas is the chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation and Forestry.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to once again serve on the Farm Bill conference committee,” said Lucas. “The 2018 Farm Bill builds upon the success of the 2014 Farm Bill, and I am excited to play a role in producing a bill that protects the farm safety net and ensures our fellow citizens have access to safe and affordable food and fiber. I am also focused on maintaining critical conservation programs that will help preserve our natural resources and promote thoughtful landowner stewardship. As the 2014 Farm Bill deadline approaches, we are taking an important step toward delivering a comprehensive final product to the president’s desk.”
