Washington, DC – Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) named Congressman Leonard Boswell, Chairman of the Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry as a conferee to the Conference Committee to the Farm Bill. The House passed its version of the Farm Bill last July while the Senate passed its bill in December. Conference committees are established to resolve disagreements between the House and Senate over their versions of the same bill.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate to work out the differences in order to get the best farm bill we can get for the country,” said Boswell.
