Tuberville calls for Farm Bill 'focused on farmers, not food stamps'

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) encouraged incoming lawmakers to support more farmer aid in future bills considered by Congress.

“It took a last second vote for us to give farmers a lifeline after losing 150,000 family farms in the last several years under Democrat rule,” he wrote in a Saturday post on the social media platform X.

“I’m glad that we finally secured economic assistance for farmers, but we have to make them a PRIORITY next Congress by passing a Farm Bill that focuses on farmers, not food stamps,” he added.
