Cattle Raisers Statement on Passage of 2018 Farm Bill

FORT WORTH, Texas — Robert McKnight, Jr., president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) issued the following statement in response to the final passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, better known as the farm bill:
“We applaud today’s final passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, and especially thank Chairman Mike Conaway for his skillful leadership that made it possible. The legislation retains many of the hard-fought provisions that were essential to cattle raisers, including authorization for a foot-and-mouth disease vaccine bank and enhancements to important conservation programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
“We look forward to President Trump’s signature, and the opportunity to collaborate with the administration on implementing many of the vital provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill.”
