Ernst calls out Senate Ag Committee leadership over farm bill delays

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst says the lack of progress on the farm bill leads her to believe another extension is coming soon.

“In the Senate, the democrats’ priorities have completely shifted away from working on the farm bill to focusing on digital commodities and cryptocurrency.”

The Iowa Republican says she’s frustrated with Senate Ag Committee leadership.

“We’re not bringing it to the table and we’re not voting on any changes to the Senate version. I think we’re doing a disservice to our farmers all across the United States. Chairwoman (Debbie) Stabenow is going to have to account for that.”

Ernst says the 2018 Farm Bill is outdated and farmers deserve a new five-year bill.
