USDA Deputy Secretary Steve
Censky says the USDA will move as quickly as possible to implement the 2018 Farm
Bill.
He says the department has
created a farm bill implementation tracker system to ensure there is a timely
roll-out.
“We have asked all of our agencies to fill out this farm bill implementation tracker and they’re in the process of completing that now,” he says. “I hope that in just a few weeks we’re going to be back with some of the general timelines we see for the implementation.”
The farm bill was signed into
law in December, two days before the longest government shutdown in history.
