The head of legislative affairs for Compeer Financial suggests the outcome of this year’s midterm elections will dictate future farm policy.
Perry Aasness tells Brownfield the heavy work of writing and passing the 2023 Farm Bill will be left up to the next Congress.
“And so of course, the election results will have a tremendous impact in terms of how that bill is written, what’s included (and) what’s not. And frankly, can we get another farm bill passed through Congress.”
He says regardless of which party has control in the House and Senate following the November elections, there doesn’t seem to be a great cry to substantially change the safety net for farmers.
