The president of a state farm bureau organization says a new five-year farm bill would give farmers and ranchers some much-needed certainty.
Nebraska’s Mark McHargue says lawmakers need to boost farm safety net programs. “Crop insurance is king,” he said. “We need to make sure that we don’t disrupt that. I think that’s one of the things that touches our producers the most, but things like funding for ag research certainly is up there on the list and has been there for a while.”
He tells Brownfield funding for precision agriculture tools should also be a priority.
