CFBF congratulates new House Ag Committee leaders

Welcomes Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., as Ag Committee chair; Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., as ranking member

PUBLISHED ON December 6, 2020

“Because California agriculture is unique, farmers and ranchers here interact differently with federal farm programs than our counterparts in other regions,” California Farm Bureau President Jamie Johansson said. “And because California grows such a large share of so many U.S. crops and commodities, challenges facing farmers here can have an outsized impact on the availability of food and farm products for all Americans. (CFBF)

SACRAMENTO — Renewing its commitment to bipartisan efforts that benefit farmers and ranchers, the California Farm Bureau congratulated the new leadership of the House Agriculture Committee.

The House Democratic Caucus selected Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., to be the Agriculture Committee chair in the 117th Congress—the first African American to hold the post. The Republican caucus selected Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., as ranking member of the committee.

“Because California agriculture is unique, farmers and ranchers here interact differently with federal farm programs than our counterparts in other regions,” California Farm Bureau President Jamie Johansson said. “And because California grows such a large share of so many U.S. crops and commodities, challenges facing farmers here can have an outsized impact on the availability of food and farm products for all Americans.

“We look forward to discussing our priorities with the new House Agriculture Committee leadership as we work toward our common goal of strengthening American agriculture.”

The California Farm Bureau works to protect family farms and ranches on behalf of nearly 34,000 members statewide and as part of a nationwide network of nearly 5.6 million Farm Bureau members.
