Now that the U.S. House has a Speaker, Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Iowa tells Brownfield lawmakers can get back to work on legislation that impacts the ag industry. “The energy and water bill is on the floor,” she says. “We’re going to be voting on amendments on that which I think sets in motion progress on the farm bill and hopefully we’ll get an updated timeline there very soon.” She says the House will also need to take up the ag appropriations bill.
