THE HOUSE FARM BILL IMPROVES FOOD STAMPS FOR COLORADANS
The U.S. House passed its version of the 2007 Farm Bill in July 2007. In addition to agriculture, conservation and trade issues, the Farm Bill also reauthorizes the Food Stamp Program making $4 billion in critical new investments and much needed improvements in food stamp benefits and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This is an important first step that will better address the problem of hunger in Colorado and around the country.
