The head lobbyist for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says he isn’t worried about the farm bill delay, yet.
Ethan Lane says, “We’ve never done a farm on time, that’s never a thing that’s happened.” He tells Brownfield the lengthy process isn’t out of line. “But it feels very heady because of all the other high drama on Capitol Hill,” he says.
Mark Eisele, NCBA’s newly installed president says it’s time for Congress to quit playing politics. “Let’s get this thing done and let’s leave those protections in that the producers need,” he says.
