Congressman Wilson Supports South Carolina Peanut Parity

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) released the following statement after the House passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which is now headed to the desk of President Donald Trump:

"Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill which provides much-needed certainty to South Carolina farmers. As the sponsor of the South Carolina Peanut Parity Act of 2017, I was grateful to see this legislation as part of the agreement. Peanut Parity is a crucial piece of legislation that gives South Carolina a voice on the Peanut Standards Board. South Carolina is fourth in the country for peanut production, and we produce over eight percent of peanuts nationwide."
