Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and Texas Representative Chip Roy are urging Senate and House leadership to include several reforms in the next farm bill.
On a call with reporters Thursday, Grassley said priorities include returning the nutrition title to pre-pandemic levels.
“Based on the proposition that when the government shut down the economy, and to get it up and running again, there were reasons to increase a lot of help from the government.”
The Republicans also requested farm payments only go to actively engaged farmers, and that USDA’s use of the Commodity Credit Corporation be reined in.
