Maintaining a safety net in the farm bill remains a priority for many corn and soybean growers in the Midwest.
Scott Smith, president of the Indiana Corn Growers Association, says legislators should have a sense of urgency when developing the 2023 Farm Bill.
“I would like to see it go forward a little quicker than it is. We’ve had a good farm bill in the past and I’d like to see (lawmakers) proceed and provide us with a safety net going forward,” he says.
