It was a privilege to visit Dallas and Jason Bushong’s cattle farm in Woodstock and see firsthand the dedication and hard work that go into sustaining Virginia’s agricultural industry. Discussing the effectiveness of state and federal conservation programs, along with challenges facing the cattle industry such as cattle prices, transportation costs, processing capacity, food safety, and consumer education, is essential to understanding the needs of our farmers.
I remain committed to listening to producers and supporting solutions that strengthen our agricultural industry, promote food safety, and support the communities that depend on it.
