Cruz Talks Farm Bill

Senator Ted Cruz visited area producers, Tuesday, to talk about the next Farm Bill and what concerns Texas farmers and ranchers have.

The Farm Bill is a five-year contract that reflects the priorities and needs of producers here in Texas.

The bill would make sure that farmers and ranchers have the tools needed to keep producing and to help them continue to move forward successfully.

Senator Cruz believes crop insurance is the number one concern, with Texas farmers and ranchers exporting everything they produce all over the world.

The current farm bill expires at the end of September, although an extension is expected as they work on the new bill.
