House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson and Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman issued a joint statement in response to the MAHA Commission's report. The statement highlighted the importance of collaboration with agricultural producers and stakeholders in developing new recommendations.
"We appreciate the efforts of the MAHA Commission to enhance engagement with agricultural producers and stakeholders in developing these updated recommendations. America’s farmers are stewards of the land, producing our nation’s food while protecting the environment. Their expertise is essential in shaping sound, science-based policies that maintain a safe and healthy food supply.
We must continue to prioritize innovation and ensure access to practical tools that enable our hardworking producers to meet growing production demands while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. We look forward to working with the administration to implement policies that advance these goals while addressing the challenges and realities encountered by farmers, ranchers, and producers.”
The statement reflects ongoing discussions about supporting American agriculture through policy updates that balance productivity with environmental protection.
