Senator: farm bill discussions continue

U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown says the Senate Agriculture Committee has begun discussing the 2023 Farm Bill.

“We are already talking about how we begin to gather information so the farm bill can be on time this year,” he says. “It’s important because agriculture is changing fast. We see the challenges in terms of input costs for farmers.”

He tells Brownfield it’s important to hear farmer concerns and priorities.  

“As a member of the agriculture committee I listen to farmers talk about their needs, for example, in infrastructure…the bipartisan farm bill will not just work on big bridges and broadband, it will also replace culvert bridges that are in various levels of decay,” he says.
