The American Soybean Association’s government affairs director says she’s concerned about how the elections might impact progress on a new farm bill.
Virginia Houston tells Brownfield that good agriculture policy can be delayed or stopped. “There are concerns, of course, of the farm bill becoming a political football much as we saw in 2016 with the Trans-Pacific Partnership. That had good momentum to being passed and then that became a talking point in the debate and all of a sudden, it failed, and we don’t want to see that happen to the farm bill.”
Houston says first, Washington must figure out how to fund all government.
