House Agriculture Committee Chairman David Scott issued the following statement applauding House passage of the Inflation Reduction Act:
“I am proud of the agriculture provisions that were included in this legislation. The Inflation Reduction Act delivers on the promises that the Agriculture Committee made to increase investments in forestry, conservation, rural development, and energy programs. This funding will help our farmers, ranchers, and foresters address climate change impacts by using these programs on their operations to sequester carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These actions will benefit all Americans and certainly benefit farmers’ bottom lines. The energy and biofuels provisions will help continue the transition to renewable and reliable energy in our rural areas and continue a role for biofuels in that transition,” Chairman David Scott said.
“I am especially proud that the Inflation Reduction Act provides critical aid for underserved farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. This funding will help deliver technical assistance, outreach, mediation, financial training, capacity building training, cooperative development, and agricultural credit training and support. It will also help address heirs’ property and fractionated land issues and fund research, education, and extension at our 1890 and 1994 Land-Grant, Insular Area, and other Minority-Serving Institutions,” Chairman David Scott continued.
