Statement by Bob Stallman, President American Farm Bureau Federation

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 2, 2011—“The debt ceiling bill President Obama signed today will keep our nation moving forward, but even harder work lies ahead. Once a joint congressional committee is named to identify additional budget savings, the American Farm Bureau Federation will work with the House and Senate Agriculture committees as they are asked to recommend savings related to agriculture spending. Our goal will be to recommend savings that will make the most sense for our members and retain the most integrity for the farm programs that serve America’s farm and ranch families.”
