Washington, D.C.— Today, House Agriculture Subcommittee on Conservation, Biotechnology, and Research Chairman Jim Baird led his Hoosier House colleagues in highlighting several bipartisan Hoosier priorities for the 2023 Farm Bill.

“Hoosier farmers makeup the backbone of America. With more than 55,000 farms across the state of Indiana agriculture supports over 946,000 jobs and more than $193 billion in food and agricultural economic outputs. It is imperative that we pass a strong farm bill that protects our producers in order for them to continue providing safe, affordable, and abundant food, fuel, and fiber to the citizens of this nation and people around the world."

This letter was supported by the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Beef Cattle Association, Indiana Corn Growers Association, Indiana Pork Producers Association, Indiana Soybean Alliance, and Indiana State Poultry Association. Read the full letter here.
