"We are excited to see the framework presented by Sen. John Boozman and the Senate Republicans. We appreciate the Senator and his staff’s commitment to this important work. We believe this proposal delivers what we have asked for, which is more “farm” in the Farm Bill.

"This framework outlines the need for a modern safety net that reflects the risks of meeting the demands of feeding our nation and much of the world.

"We look forward to working with the Arkansas delegation and the rest of Congress to get a Farm Bill passed this year, and bringing some certainty to Arkansas agriculture and the farmers and ranchers of this great country."
