WASHINGTON (KFGO) – Two members of the House Agriculture Committee are optimistic a new farm bill can be completed by the end of the year.
Minnesota Republican Congressman Brad Finstad says House Ag Committee chair Glenn GT Thompson is still hopeful progress can be made in September. ”
See if we can make a last-ditch effort to move something through the House. The unfortunate part is right now, we’re trying to figure out and read tea leaves of what’s going on in the Senate.”
Minnesota Democrat Angie Craig says the 2018 Farm Bill was also delayed. ”
That farm bill failed on the House floor, and it went to the conference committee. Collin Peterson was a ranking member, and we got a good farm bill from it. So this is a little bit of a part of the process.”
Craig and Finstad made the comments during Farmfest this week near Redwood Falls.
