Twice-extended farm bill expires September 30th
The twice-extended 2018 Farm Bill faces expiration in less than a month.
American Farm Bureau president Zippy Duvall tells Brownfield the deadline is September 30th.
“Or we revert back to old law, so that’s one timeline we need to pay attention to. It could be extended of course, but I think they’re on track to try to get something done. And depending on who you talk to, some of them think it’s going to be pretty easy (and) some think it’s difficult.”
He suggests the biggest obstacle might be mending the bipartisan farm bill coalition.
“I think the big problem right now is getting over some of the hurt feelings we have because Democrats felt like they got left out of it.”
Duvall spoke to Brownfield during Farmfest in southwest Minnesota last month.
The government needs to stop supporting big agriculture, big pharma, and medical need to be not for profit, is the only way to get rid of the scumbags leaching off the taxpayers. No one from any other country
should be allowed to buy and farm American land period. Insure your self or not, but grow food that is healthy instead of slow death. Stop lying to the public and stop stealing, get rid of subcommittees because they are easier to lobby, turning gov. Into crooks.the crooks got to go.
