Issues: Agriculture and Food Government Budget and Spending

Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 2112, the Fiscal Year 2012 Agriculture Appropriations Bill:

"Today's bill recognizes the serious fiscal situation our nation is in while at the same time helps ensure that Arkansas's agriculture sector remains competitive in a worldwide economy, and that our food supply remains safe. It represents a 13.4 percent reduction in funding--returning agriculture spending to below FY2008 levels--and 22 percent below President Obama's requested funding level."
