The president of the National Corn Growers Association wants to see a more robust farm bill.
Tom Haag, who farms in central Minnesota, suggests the baseline needs to be bigger to fund the many important programs.
“We don’t want to all of a sudden say ‘let’s rob Peter to pay Paul.’ That doesn’t help solve the situation (so) we need to see if there’s some extra money to see if, you know, there’s something they can do with reference pricing, increase that.”
He says the 2023 Farm Bill should also maintain flexibility for the commodity title programs.
