America's capacity to provide all of us with things we depend on every day. USDA loans provide certainty to those who give us an abundant and affordable food supply, clean and renewable energy, and products that are made here at home by U.S. businesses. Access to credit helps provide economic benefits that support hundreds of thousands of jobs in housing, manufacturing and more.
• USDA relies on Farm Bill programs to keep up this record level of work. While Congress has extended current Farm Bill programs for nine months, many folks across the country rely on the certainty of multi-year credit programs that would be provided through a comprehensive Food, Farm and Jobs Bill.
• This is just one more reason why President Obama and I will continue our work with Congress to secure passage of a comprehensive, multi-year Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as possible.
