A National Farmers Union official is optimistic Congress can craft the new farm bill in a timely manner. Vice President of Advocacy Mike Stranz tells Brownfield the first House Ag Committee public listening session starts four days after the new Congress is sworn January 7th. “Hopefully, that momentum continues and that markups and debate and negotiation can get started late in the spring, maybe into the summer, and we can try to get a farm bill done on time.”
He says National Farmers Union would also like to see something new in the next farm bill.
