I’m meeting directly with our farmers and bringing their priorities back to Washington as we prepare amendments to protect Florida’s interests.

Cammack's office said the House Agriculture Committee passed H.R. 7567 after a 25-hour markup and that her top priorities were secured in the bill, including AGI reform, citrus greening research funding through 2031, and a voluntary base acre update tied to 2019-2023 planting history.
Assessments
The promise was to prepare amendments protecting Florida's Farm Bill interests, not necessarily to secure final enactment. Official House markup records show Cammack offered a Farm Bill amendment, and her office reported that Florida priorities such as citrus greening research funding, AGI reform, and base-acre updates were secured as H.R. 7567 advanced out of committee during her current House term. Although one listed amendment was withdrawn and the bill had not necessarily become law, the preparation and advancement standard in the promise was met.
