Hudson Votes to Provide Certainty to North Carolina’s Farmers and Ranchers

WASHINGTON -Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) issued the following statement after voting in support of the bipartisan, bicameral agreement on a five-year farm bill.

“This agreement provides certainty to North Carolina's agriculture community by enhancing the critical safety net our producers need when they put their crops in the ground,” said Hudson.  “Since the beginning of this debate, I have fought hard for significant savings and I am disappointed that this agreement does not cut more from the food stamps program.  However, the bill slashes over $23 billion to help reduce the debt by finding responsible savings in food stamps, eliminating direct payments completely, consolidating or eliminating over 100 redundant programs, and making commonsense reforms that will protect our farmers and ensure our agriculture community thrives.

“This bill is not perfect, and while I applaud Chairman Lucas for his determination to get this agreement across the finish line, there are several programs important to North Carolina’s livestock and poultry producers that we still must address.  I look forward to working on those issues with my colleagues and continuing my work on behalf of our producers and agriculture community”
