Grassley: “partisan approach” likely on skinny farm bill

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley suggests partisanship in farm bill negotiations is unavoidable.

The Iowa Republican tells Brownfield Democrats want to undo changes made in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

“All the savings in food stamp fraud that we did in the tax bill this summer. That means that there’s probably going to have to be a partisan approach, because we can’t have states having 25 percent error rates in food stamps.”

House Ag Committee Ranking Member Angie Craig of Minnesota has said the size of the SNAP cuts make it harder to get full Democratic support for a skinny farm bill.
