“It is an honor to serve as Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee,” Boozman said. “There are many pressing needs of agriculture producers that we will work to address including passing a farm bill that provides farmers and ranchers the policies and support they desperately need to continue feeding, clothing and fueling the world. I look forward to working with President Trump and my colleagues to implement an agenda that delivers certainty and predictability for hardworking farm families, improves the regulatory landscape to ensure it’s fair and transparent, and bolsters rural communities.” 

 As Chairman, Boozman will establish the agenda of the Senate Agriculture Committee next Congress.

 Boozman served as Ranking Member of the committee in both the 117th and 118th Congress where he worked across the aisle to enhance food assistance programs and modernize USDA’s summer meals program to permanently allow states flexibilities to reach more food-insecure children. He successfully fought for economic assistance to help producers minimize market losses, helped elevate the importance of securing new export markets for U.S. agriculture commodities and met with farmers, ranchers and agriculture stakeholders in more than 20 states to get their input as the committee crafts the next farm bill.
