“I am honored to have been selected by Chairman GT Thompson and my colleagues to serve on the House Agriculture Committee. Western New York and the Southern Tier have a rich agriculture history from small family farms getting passed down from generation to generation to an up-and-coming agritourism destination. However, family farms have struggled as a result of policy changes from people who do not understand the agriculture industry. I will be a tireless fighter to protect their livelihood when the Farm Bill is up for negotiation and deliver results they need to thrive,” said Congressman Langworthy

The committee is chaired by Thompson, R-Pa., who represents Warren County, Pa., in the House.

“The House Committee on Agriculture will hit the ground running in the 118th Congress to address the many headwinds facing farm families and rural America. I am pleased to welcome to Rep. Langworthy to the Committee and I’m confident he will be a great agriculture advocate for upstate New York,” Thompson said.
