Cattle market reform bill poised for Senate debate, not farm bill

Cattle market reform bill poised for Senate debate, not farm bill

A member of the U.S. Senate Ag Committee says the 2023 Farm Bill is not the place for cattle market reform.

Republican Deb Fischer of Nebraska tells Brownfield, “I think that would put the farm bill behind the eight-ball.  It would be a longer debate on the farm bill when you have a bill like that on it.”

Fischer says even with stronger cattle prices there is still urgency to get it across the finish line because prices could decline.
