Crafting new farm bill starts with listening to Idaho farmers, ranchers

As many of the programs authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill expire this year, it is time to write a new Farm Bill. Throughout my time in Congress, I have greatly valued opportunities to work for Idahoans to help shape past Farm Bills to ensure federal farm policy best empowers Idaho production. I am looking to Idaho agriculture to once again share your input on what federal farm policies are working and what policies need fine-tuning in the upcoming Farm Bill discussions.

Military families assisted by FRG Centers

Many military families (active, Guard, Reserves, retired) are unaware of the vast number of resources available to them. The job of our Family Assistance Centers (FAC), therefore, is to help these families become aware of and familiar with these resources. These Centers are located across the United States, seven of which are located in Idaho, including one right here in Post Falls. The FAC offices operate under the umbrella of the National Guard Family Programs in each state and are available to ALL of our military families regardless of location, unit, or branch of service. Services provided by the Centers are similar to that of the Navigators affiliated with the Health and Welfare offices, directed at connecting our military families to services, benefits and resources (both military & civilian).
