Congresswoman Houchin Joins IN Delegation to Promote Hoosier Farm Bill Priorities

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Erin Houchin (R-Ind.-09) joins Indiana delegation colleagues in a letter to highlight several bipartisan Hoosier priorities for the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill. 

“The Indiana delegation has made it clear that as the Farm Bill moves through the process, our priority is to provide certainty to our farmers. I’ll work tirelessly, just as Southern Indiana farmers do every day, to ensure they continue to have the ability to feed the United States and the world,” said Congresswoman Houchin.

“With more than 55,000 farms across the state of Indiana agriculture supports over 946,000 jobs and more than $193 billion in food and agricultural economic outputs. It is imperative that we pass a strong farm bill that protects our producers in order for them to continue providing safe, affordable, and abundant food, fuel, and fiber,” said the delegation in the letter.

This letter was supported by the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana Beef Cattle Association, Indiana Corn Growers Association, Indiana Pork Producers Association, Indiana Soybean Alliance, and Indiana State Poultry Association.

Congresswoman Houchin shares more about her agriculture priorities, including the Farm Bill, in a recent op-ed in the Indiana Corn & Soybean Post.
