Members of Congress are on recess right now, but when they return to Washington, the 5-year farm bill will be waiting for them.
Representative Dusty Johnson and Senator John Thune are on the agriculture committees in their chambers.
Senator Mike Rounds hopes this is the year we see action on “Country of Origin” labeling.
Country of Origin labeling has been on the wish list of farm state lawmakers for decades.
Rounds also says it’s critical to keep a strong safety net for producers.
The current farm bill was signed in December of 2018.
