Miller Section On Solar Panels And Amendment Restricting Hemp THC Included In Final Bill
“Over the past year, the House Agriculture Committee diligently laid the groundwork for a robust Farm Bill that supports producers by ensuring a strong agriculture safety net. Today, the committee passed a five-year Farm Bill that promotes trade, supports crop insurance, and protects the farm safety net. The final Farm Bill included my provision protecting fertile farmland from solar panels.
“I am also proud my amendment was included to close the loophole that has allowed drug-infused THC products like Delta-8 to be sold to teenagers in packaging that looks like candy. We must stop teenagers and children from being exposed to addictive and harmful drugs.
“The Farm Bill supports producers by increasing reference prices, strengthening rural broadband, funding the modernization of agriculture research facilities, and improving standing disaster programs and access for livestock. Food security is national security, and our country must never be dependent on our adversaries to feed American families. My husband and I run a small family farm, and I am proud to support a Farm Bill that protects the farmers who feed America.”
