Congressman Mike Rogers announced today he was selected to serve as a Conferee for the Farm Bill. 

              “Agriculture is a $1 billion industry for my home state of Alabama and provides good-paying jobs for folks across the country. After almost five years of talks and extensions, the House and Senate will work to finalize a new Farm Bill. I am pleased to have the opportunity to represent the interests of the Alabama agriculture industry on the Farm Bill Conference Committee. I look forward to negotiating a long-term package that will help bring certainty to farmers, reduce spending and benefit Alabama,” Rogers said.

            Rogers serves as Chairman of the Strategic Forces subcommittee on the Armed Services Committee and is a senior member of the Homeland Security and Agriculture committees.
