Democratic Party Kaine on agriculture and food policy

  • On February 4, 2014, Tim Kaine joined 46 other Democratic senators to approve the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[1] It passed the Senate with a vote of 68-32. The nearly 1,000-page, $1 trillion bill reformed and continued Department of Agriculture programs through 2018. The bill expanded crop insurance for farmers and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that are triggered when prices drop. The bill also cut food stamps an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[2]
  • Kaine, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), and a bipartisan group of nine senators wrote to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Office of the United States Trade Representative in January 2014 urging them to provide for open markets and fair trade of U.S. chicken products.[3]
