USRPA Participates In Farm Bill Roundtable With Senators Schmitt And Boozman

US Rice Producers Association was invited to participate in a Farm Bill Round Table with Senator Eric Schmitt (MO) and Senator John Boozman (AR), Ranking Member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee. The session took place at the University of Missouri's Bradford Research Farm in Columbia. USRPA Chief Operating Officer Mollie Buckler represented the organization and the Missouri Rice Council at the event, advocating for increased reference prices and an increase in funding for market export programs. Buckler noted that two reverse trade servicing trips had made their way through Missouri in the past month alone, thanks to Market Access Program funding.

"Senators Boozman and Schmitt understand the needs of our industry and U.S. agriculture's impact on not only our local communities but the entire world. We're fortunate to have them advocating for us in Washington," Buckler said. ∆
