Statement

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Representative Steve Daines today released the following statement applauding the Senate passage of a five-year Farm bill:

"The long-overdue passage of a five-year Farm Bill by both the House and Senate is good news for Montana," Daines stated. "One in five Montana jobs relies on agriculture, and a five-year Farm Bill that protects and promotes Montana's number one industry is critically important for our ag producers and rural communities. I'm glad that the House and Senate have been able to reach agreement on this critical legislation, and I am hopeful that President Obama will act quickly and get this bill signed into law."

Last week's House approval of the bill, followed by today's Senate approval, clears the way for the President to sign the bill into law.
