U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) today expressed significant disappointment that the House of Representatives failed to pass the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (Farm Bill) that would have enacted fiscally responsible reform to farm and nutrition policies, providingcertainty to farm families in Missouri’s 3^rd District and ensuring that America would continue to have the most inexpensive and safe food supply in the world.             

“I was proud to support the passage of the Farm Bill today and I am extremely disappointed that the House rejected it because this bill would have made much needed reforms to both the nutrition and farm portions of the existing policies, saving taxpayers a total of $40 billion. The bill also would have provided hard-working farm families with the stability they need to plan for the future and ensured that the American people continue to enjoy the most safe and affordable food supply in the world,” Luetkemeyer said.
