The National Association of Wheat Growers has prioritized an increase in reference prices for the Price Loss Coverage program, but CEO Chandler Goule says the farm bill needs a bigger baseline to make that happen.
“We had Bart Fischer with Texas A&M University come to visit with us and he used to work on the House Agriculture Committee,” says Goule. “He rolled out big numbers, saying if we want a 10% or 20% raise in the PLC price, we’re talking double-digits, just for wheat.”
Goule says government spending is already a point of contention in the House.
