Wed, 11 May 2022 14:55:51 CDT
-"NCFC and its members welcome President Biden's announcement today giving American farmers access to additional tools to boost domestic agricultural production and help alleviate the global food shortfalls caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since the war began in late February, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and his team at the U.S. Department of Agriculture have proactively worked to address the international turmoil in the food and agricultural markets and we applaud them for their efforts.
The actions announced today can help producers meet demand in the short- and medium-term and will serve as a foundation for additional action to ensure U.S. food security in the longer term. We look forward to continued collaboration with both the administration and Congress as the response to the crisis continues."
