Recent reforms to the farm bill saved taxpayers over $100-billion and Congressman Rodney Davis hopes to continue those reforms with the upcoming farm bill negotiations.
Congressman Davis says the last farm bill flipped the emphasis from SNAP benefits to agriculture and he hopes to now focus on getting those on the food and nutrition benefits into the workforce.
Congressman Davis says he sees this problem in his district. He wants to invest money into workforce training for those on benefit programs to meet the demand of employers.
The central Illinois Congressman is hoping his colleagues on House Ag Committee will work with him to help get those on the benefit programs into good paying jobs.
