Granger Statement on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and ... House Appropriations
The House Appropriations Committee recently approved an amendment to the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Nutrition, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2021. The amendment, proposed by Representative Kay Granger (R-TX), would increase the funding for agriculture, rural development, food and nutrition programs by $2 billion.
The Granger Amendment would provide additional resources to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. It would also provide additional funds to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income families access food. The amendment would also provide additional funding for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which provides food assistance to pregnant women, new mothers, and children under the age of five.
The additional funding provided by the Granger Amendment would be used to support a variety of programs that benefit farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. These include programs that provide financial assistance for farmers and ranchers, support for rural infrastructure projects, and assistance for rural businesses. The amendment would also provide additional funds for research and development of new agricultural technologies.
The Granger Amendment was approved by the House Appropriations Committee with bipartisan support. It is now expected to be included in the final version of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Nutrition, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2021.
The additional funding provided by the Granger Amendment is an important step towards ensuring that farmers, ranchers, and rural communities have access to the resources they need to succeed. The amendment will help ensure that low-income families have access to nutritious food, and that rural businesses have the resources they need to thrive. This additional funding will help ensure that agriculture, rural development, food and nutrition programs remain strong and effective.
