/PRNewswire/ -- Blue Diamond Growers, the largest almond processor

The Company issued the following statement:
"Blue Diamond applauds House Agriculture Committee Chairman
Thompson and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Stabenow for
their diligent work in moving the 2024 farm bill process forward.
As a global brand and grower owned cooperative, programs supporting
market access and crop insurance are vital to export expansion and
