Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today named House Democratic Members to serve on a conference committee on the Farm Bill.

"With America's farmers, producers and ranchers facing plummeting prices, rising retaliatory tariffs and a struggling farm economy, we need a real robust, bipartisan Farm Bill more than ever," Leader Pelosi said.
