Representative Ronny Jackson announced Tuesday, July 27, that the scope of a large disaster relief bill, H.R. 267, will assist the agriculture community with natural disaster recovery.
The policy will include the recent winter storms in Texas, and droughts and is especially instrumental for Texas cotton producers.
âAt the beginning of this year, the Lone Star State endured a disastrous winter storm, and the agriculture industry suffered many of its consequences, said Congressman Pete Sessions. The food supply chain is a delicate ecosystem that requires our attention. The RESTORE Act will deliver disaster aid to the men and women who toil, day in and day out, to ensure a steady food supply for the American people. I applaud Congressmen Ronny Jackson (TX-13) and Henry Cuellar (TX-28) for going to bat for our great Texan producers.â

“H.R. 158, which would strengthen and expand the Visa Waiver Program, and H.R. 2843, which would expand enrollment in the Transportation Security Administration’s Pre✓ program for fliers, are both examples of effective legislating for which Congress deserves credit.
(U.S. House of Representatives Agriculture Committee) House Agriculture Committee Chairman David Scott delivered the following statement at today’s hearing on Climate Change and the U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Sectors: …
Our farmers, ranchers, and forest managers understand these risks, and they are the first to experience the pressures of a changing climate. But American producers are resilient, and many are already adopting production practices that not only improve productivity but store carbon and reduce emissions in the atmosphere. And yet there is tremendous opportunity to do more. It is incumbent on this Committee to ensure producers have the financial and technical resources they need to understand climate risks, consider mitigation strategies, and receive the support they need to make important investments in their operations.
